Version 5.35, 4.79.2.48. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_48'

1) Bring IOMD HAL more up to date. Add support for new call HAL_CleanerSpace (preparation for StrongARM kernel support).

2) In kernel, add HAL_CleanerSpace call (preparation for
StrongARM and XScale core support). Fix bug found with
ARMv3 support during test on Risc PC.

3) Implement new API for kernel SWIs that have used top
bits of addresses as flags. The new API has an extra
flag that must be set, so kernel can distinguish and
support both APIs. The reason for all this is that
addresses are 32-bits now, people, keep up there. Briefly:

  OS_HeapSort
    bit 31 of r0 set for new API, r1 is full 32-bit address
    flags move from r1 bits 31-29 to r0 bits 30-28

  OS_ReadLine
    bit 31 of r1 set for new API, r0 is full 32-bit address
    flags move from bits 31,30 of r0 to bits 30,29 of r1

  OS_SubstituteArgs
    bit 31 of r2 set for new API, r0 is full 32-bit address
    flag moves from bit 31 of r0 to bit 30 of r2

Tested on Risc PC and briefly on Customer A 2

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.41. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_41'

Details:
  The Kernel will now compile to produce a pure 32-bit system if No26bitCode is
  set to TRUE.
  If No26bitCode is FALSE, then the Kernel will be a standard 26-bit Kernel,
  although some internal changes have taken place to minimise compile
  switches between the two cases. See Docs.32bit for more technical info.

  The hardest part was the flood-fill...

Other changes:
  Pointer shape changes now take place on the next VSync, rather than actually
  WAITING for the VSync. Turning the Hourglass on shouldn't slow your machine
  down by 5% now :)

  Lots of really crusty pre-IOMD code removed.

Admin:
  Tested in 32 and 26-bit forms in a limited desktop build. Basically, this
  will need to see a lot of use to iron out difficulties. I'd like anyone who
  has a non-frozen project to at least attempt using this Kernel.
