* Listen out for PointerV 9, which (RISC OS 5) mouse drivers use to
indicate scroll wheel updates + extra button status
* Changes in the state of the extra buttons are treated the same as
changes to normal mouse buttons: signalled via Event_Mouse, and stored
in the mouse buffer (for reading via OS_Mouse).
* Changes in the scroll wheel(s) are signalled via Event_Expansion,4. If
the event vector call is unclaimed, the kernel's wheel position
accumulators will be updated
* Wheel position accumulators can be read via OS_Pointer 2
* Wheel position accumulators implement "wrap to zero" logic on overflow

This matches RISCOS Ltd's implementation
(http://www.riscos.com/support/developers/riscos6/input/pointerdevices.html),
except that:

* The kernel currently doesn't call PointerV 4, so PointerV 9 is the
only way drivers can report wheel + extra button status
* Extra mouse buttons don't generate KeyV transitions
* Our implementation is in the kernel, not an OSPointer module

Version 6.37. Tagged as 'Kernel-6_37'

Reporting invalid parameters to OS_Pointer and OS_ConvertDateAndTime could wander off to bad places due to corrupt LR and/or stack imbalance.

This is now a HAL only kernel, and 0x3200000 is most likely somewhere in RAM.

Version 5.51. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_51'

Detail:
  This change gets rid of the following switches from the source (picking appropriate code paths for a desktop build):
  * STB
  * RO371Timings
  * NormalSpeedROMS
  * AutoSpeedROMS
  * RISCPCBurstMode
  * InterlacedPointer
  * ParallelFlashUpgrade (and s/FlashROM file)
  * Embedded_UI
  Some of the deleted code might be worth revisiting in future:
  * OS_ReadSysInfo 4 support for storing the MAC in alternate CMOS locations (including 2nd copy for error checking) or fetching via Service_MachineAddress
  * Mouse handling changes, possibly aimed at hiding the mouse pointer if a mouse isn't connected
  * More strict CMOS validation in s/NewReset

Version 5.50. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_50'

Expand tabs.
Swap DCI for instructions now Objasm 4 is out.
Symbols for FSControl_CAT/RUN/OPT changed to non Arthur definitions.
Still boots on IOMD class, no other testing.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.124. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_124'

Detail:
  A whole mass of changes to add high processor vectors + zero page relocation support to the Cortex branch of the kernel
  At the moment the code can only cope with two ZeroPage locations, &0 and &FFFF0000. But with a bit more tweaking those restrictions can probably be lifted, allowing ZeroPage to be hidden at almost any address (assuming it's fixed at compile time). If I've done my job right, these restrictions should all be enforced by asserts.
  There's a new option, HiProcVecs, in hdr/Options to control whether high processor vectors are used. When enabling it and building a ROM, remember:
  * FPEmulator needs to be built with the FPEAnchor=High option specified in the components file (not FPEAnchorType=High as my FPEmulator commit comments suggested)
  * ShareFS needs unplugging/removing since it can't cope with it yet
  * Iyonix users will need to use the latest ROOL boot sequence, to ensure the softloaded modules are compatible (OMAP, etc. don't really softload much so they're OK with older sequences)
  * However VProtect also needs patching to fix a nasty bug there - http://www.riscosopen.org/tracker/tickets/294
  The only other notable thing I can think of is that the ProcessTransfer code in s/ARM600 & s/VMSAv6 is disabled if high processor vectors are in use (it's fairly safe to say that code is obsolete in HAL builds anyway?)
  Fun challenge for my successor: Try setting ZeroPage to &FFFF00FF (or similar) so its value can be loaded with MVN instead of LDR. Then use positive/negative address offsets to access the contents.
  File changes:
  - hdr/ARMops - Modified ARMop macro to take the ZeroPage pointer as a parameter instead of 'zero'
  - hdr/Copro15ops - Corrected $quick handling in myISB macro
  - hdr/Options - Added ideal setting for us to use for HiProcVecs
  - s/AMBControl/allocate, s/AMBControl/growp, s/AMBControl/mapslot, s/AMBControl/memmap, s/AMBControl/service, s/AMBControl/shrinkp, s/Arthur2, s/Arthur3, s/ArthurSWIs, s/ChangeDyn, s/ExtraSWIs, s/HAL, s/HeapMan, s/Kernel, s/MemInfo, s/Middle, s/ModHand, s/MoreSWIs, s/MsgCode, s/NewIRQs, s/NewReset, s/Oscli, s/PMF/buffer, s/PMF/IIC, s/PMF/i2cutils, s/PMF/key, s/PMF/mouse, s/PMF/osbyte, s/PMF/oseven, s/PMF/osinit, s/PMF/osword, s/PMF/oswrch, s/SWINaming, s/Super1, s/SysComms, s/TickEvents, s/Utility, s/vdu/vdu23, s/vdu/vdudriver, s/vdu/vdugrafl, s/vdu/vdugrafv, s/vdu/vdupalxx, s/vdu/vdupointer, s/vdu/vduswis, s/vdu/vduwrch - Lots of updates to deal with zero page relocation
  - s/ARM600 - UseProcessTransfer option. Zero page relocation support. Deleted pre-HAL ClearPhysRAM code to tidy the file up a bit.
  - s/ARMops - Zero page relocation support. Set CPUFlag_HiProcVecs when high vectors are in use.
  - s/KbdResPC - Disable compilation of dead code
  - s/VMSAv6 - UseProcessTransfer option. Zero page relocation support.
Admin:
  Tested with OMAP & Iyonix ROM softloads, both with high & low zero page.
  High zero page hasn't had extensive testing, but boot sequence + ROM apps seem to work.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.48. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_48'

* Allows HAL-driven software resets.
* Sound buffers corrected to be uncacheable.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.33. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_33'

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.
