There is no rule that you must add POSIX-like functions into the kernel. It is 
also fine to have libc.mod, if necessary.

No. startup.S should be used only if you must use real mode. In this case, we 
use protected mode, so you should add these functions into a C file or a 
header. Defining them in a header makes sense, because they are inline 
functions.
