I think the HAL is how the device drivers get to the hardware. It
abstracts (for example) the stuff you need to abstract before you're
done booting, it abstracts the mechanism for figuring out how to do task
switching, it abstracts the stuff for dealing with the motherboard so
you can tell what device drivers you need to load, and so on. It's a
layer below the device drivers.
