     1: default ticker based vsync generated whenever no device present to do so
     2: graphicsv handling and spec updated to use the hi 8 bits in the
        reason code (R4) to define the display number. Kernel only knows
        of display 0

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.79. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_79'

Detail:
  * I noticed in passing that the default exception handlers were broken for
    non-IOMD machines if the exception was raised in FIQ mode - unless you
    had a very large application slot, then the machine would lock up. Now
    properly HAL-ised.
  * Added a new event number, allocated for PRISM use back in June.
Admin:
  Not tested. However, it can't make the situation any worse!

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.78. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_78'

Detail:
  Previously, UnthreadV was only called when the IRQsema chain was empty, the
  link for the just-completed interrupt having just been removed. However,
  the information in the link is necessary to allow OS_Heap to be called from
  UnthreadV context, and patching up IRQsema within the UnthreadV handler
  prevents the implementation of a prioritised threading scheme. As a result,
  we must call UnthreadV every time the interrupt dispatch unthreads, and
  leave it up to the UnthreadV handler to distinguish between return to
  thread context and return from a nested interrupt handler.
Admin:
  Will require some sort of patch to enable heap-safe prioritised threading
  on RISC OS-STB 5.0.0 or RISC OS 5.07, the only two released OSes with the
  previous UnthreadV behaviour.

Detail:
   CheckSumBlock called IIC_OpV to checksum byte 0 of CMOS, but read back the
   resultant checksum from the wrong offset (#20.. new R1 value)..  now
   corrected to #24 as the correct offset (approx line 997).

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.72. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_72'

* Added use of CDVPoduleIRQs (from Hdr:Machine)
* Fixed checksum corruption in OS_NVMemory block writes ending just below
  the checksum byte.
* Fixed R4 corruption by OS_Byte 162 with certain HALs.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.71. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_71'

Detail:
  Event numbers greater than 31 are possible, it's just that OS_GenerateEvent
  doesn't bother cheking the event semaphores for them. However, the value
  returned in R1 from these OS_Bytes always indicated that such events were
  disabled. This suggests that OS_GenerateEvent was not always so, but the
  initials in comments there suggest the change was about RISC OS 3.0.
  The OS_Bytes now correctly reflect OS_GenerateEvent behaviour.
  Another bug fix is that once the event semaphores had saturated at 255,
  OS_Byte 13 was still happy to decrement the semaphore, so for example 256
  enables followed by 255 disables would have disabled the event.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.70. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_70'

Added UnthreadV (vector &2B). Called near the end of despatch of the outermost interrupt, in IRQ32/26 mode with IRQs disabled, just before transient and non-transient callback checking is performed. Suitable for implementing a CBAI replacement.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.68. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_68'

Now pads its HAL entry table with NullHALEntry if the HAL is providing fewer entries than the Kernel needs. Helps internal Kernel use of CallHAL, but doesn't affect external OS_Hardware users.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.67. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_67'

  [Not fully implemented - for now leaves at least 16MB free if only
  one RAM area; was 1MB].
* Added HAL_USBControllerInfo, HAL_MonitorLeadID and HAL_Video_Render.
* Added HAL->OS call OS_IICOpV.
* OS_MMUControl now allows independent control of I and C bits.
* Added facility to deactivate keyboard debounce (magic word "NoKd" in
  R2 in KeyV 0).
* Fixed problem with RAM amounts not a multiple of 4MB.
* Supremacy bit (in VDU 19) now sets all 8 bits of supremacy.
* Added PaletteV 14 (reads gamma tables).
* Added Supremacy transfer functions (like gamma correction, but for
  supremacy). Allows easy global supremacy effects in a mode-independent
  fashion. Controlled with PaletteV 15,16.
* Added modes 50-53 (320x240, 1,2,4,8bpp). Intended for small LCD.
* Added 13.5kHz versions of TV modes (selected by Hdr:Machine).
* Upped desktop version to 5.06.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.62. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_62'

Fixed bug in KeyV handling: if it was called before the keyboard handler was installed, it would abort reading from an address that used to be in the logical copy of physical space on an IOMD machine. This manifested itself during software-initiated resets as an abort during ROM init, leaving you with an apparently dead machine.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.61. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_61'

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.60. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_60'

Added "fast" flash tool for Customer L, allowing ROMs to be sent serially at
115200 baud not 9600 baud.
Fix to VDU despatch for ARMv4 and later.
Fixes to power on delete keyboard and keyboard timeout
Implemented MemoryReadPhys and MemoryAmounts with the HAL.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.59. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_59'

OSDelink/RelinkApp now work on the list in opposite orders so that the order of vector claims doesn't get toggled.

Fix for *FX5 not working due to a TST having been swapped for CMP.
Checkprotectionlink option added to HAL version so CMOS lock is
implemented.
Updated HAL docs.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.58. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_58'

(b) doesn't unbalance the SVC stack.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.57. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_57'

Detail:
  * Merged in the change to RISC OS 4.02 kernel that moved the GSTrans
    workspace out of scratch space.
  * Fixed a few bugs in callback postponement, and interrupt holes in
    callback dispatch. See Docs.CallbackChange for full info.
  * Fixed SystemSizeCMOS to SysHeapCMOS - wouldn't build as was.
  * Added an export of a C version of Hdr:HALDevice, based on the Hdr2H
    translation but with an additional struct definition. Required by
    SoundControl 1.00.
  * Added some additional location and ID allocations to Hdr:HALDevice.
    Required by today's HAL and SoundControl.
Admin:
  Partially tested.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.56. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_56'

*Configure ANYTHINGsize was broken due to not setting R0 to ReadUnsigned
IIC ack message uninternationalised
OS_Memory was saying we only had 4M of RAM
VDU4 scrolling when output was switched to sprite was causing corruption
on use of CTRL-J and CTRL-K
Default SystemSize CMOS set to 32k

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.55. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_55'

Also enabled the Service_ModulePostInit/Final service calls now that the
service call allocations have been confirmed.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.54. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_54'

Added 256-colour version of the (high-resolution only) teletext code, and support for teletext when hardware scroll is disabled. Both are required for Tungsten.

Turned off the module init/final service calls, since we still don't have an
allocation for them.
Upped the OS version number to 5.01.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.53. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_53'

Detail:
  * Rejigged documented meaning of device "Location" field so that we can
    fit full PCI locations in.
  * Defined lots of device "Type" values in Hdr:HALDevice.
  * Removed obsolete DMA-related HAL entries in Hdr:HALEntries (no longer
    required by DMAManager 0_15-4_4_2_6, no longer provided by Tungsten HAL
    0.07).
  * OS_Hardware 2 and 3 actually work now.
  * Changed OS_Hardware 4 to take a maximum major version number to match.
  * HAL workspace is now USR mode readable.
  * Service calls issued after module initialisation/finalisation (see
    Docs.ModPostServ).
Admin:
  OS_Hardware tested, service calls not tested.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.52. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_52'

Detail:
  Lots of changes since last version, at least the following:
  * Updated OS timestamp, removed alpha status
  * Negative INKEY OS version changed to &AA
  * GraphicsV is now alocated vector number &2A
  * ROM moved up to &FC000000
  * Max application slot increased to 512 Mbytes (for now)
  * Max size of RMA increased to 256 Mbytes
  * RMA is now first-created dynamic area (so it gets lowest address after
    top of application slot)
  * OS_Memory 10 reimplemeted
  * New OS_ReadSysInfo 6 values 18-22 added
  * OS_ReadSysInfo 8 gains flag bit to indicate soft power-off
  * Misc internal top-bit-set-address fixes
  * *ChangeDynamicArea can take sizes in megabytes or gigabytes
  * Magic word "&off" in R0 passed to OS_Reset powers down if possible
  * Added acceleration: block copy; CLS; text window scroll up; rectangle
    fill
  * Disabled LED flashing in page mode (liable to crash)
  * Masked sprite plot and VDU 5 text avoids reading the screen if poss...

In the No26bitCode case (ie when abort handlers are entered in ABT32 mode), if lazy task swapping was enabled and a data abort occurred that was not a page translation fault, then the code in AMB_LazyFixUp to map in the whole application slot was being circumvented, leading to problems for abort handlers in application space because r14_abt was corrupted by any abort due to accessing the abort handler itself. The test of the FSR (to compensate for the FAR being unusable for external aborts) which prompted the circumvention has therefore been moved inside AMB_LazyFixup.

Also now preserves the FSR and FAR across AMB_LazyFixUp, so they are now
visible from application abort handlers if desired.
