are you kidding? Even single-booting is out of the scope of this project, this project is just kernel, not bootloader. Qcom platforms did use OLD and MODED lk to boot linux + even for it there is dualboot solution, check https://github.com/Android-Boot-Manager

Thank you for the reference. I'll look into it. P.S. I'm attempting to dual boot multiple pure Linux OSs.

Unfortunately luka177 is right. The Qualcomm bootloader you're probably referring to is a really really old fork of LK (like 2009 era) that has diverged from mainline in a ton of ways. I honestly don't know what it's doing with any of these things, so you'd really have to start with that codebase and work from there.
