Detail:
  s/Middle - Added some new OS_ReadSysInfo 6 items which are needed by the zero page relocation kernel. Also duplicated some existing entries to avoid conflicts with ROL's allocations.
  hdr/OSRSI6, Makefile - New header listing OS_ReadSysInfo 6 items
  hdr/PublicWS - Duplicated the workspace definitions for &0-&4000, but with a 'Legacy_' prefix to their names. Also added some new entries as needed by the zero page relocation kernel. Once existing modules have been updated to use OS_ReadSysInfo 6 & the Legacy_ definitions, the old defs will be removed.
  hdr/KernelWS - Removed 'Export_' prefix from all the exported workspace values, since the kernel can now use the original names directly
  hdr/Options - Dummy HiProcVecs option so merging things will be a bit cleaner

  Tested on rev A2 BB-xM


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.44. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_44'

Detail:
  Makefile - Now uses ${PERL} for running perl
  s/Kernel - Now uses correct "Bad OS_PlatformFeatures reason code" error number
  s/MemInfo - Updated list of OS_Memory 9 controllers
Admin:
  OMAP3 ROM compiles OK; untested at runtime


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.43. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_43'

Detail:
  hdr/HALDevice - Added GPIO device type in the Comms group, and an ID for a generic OMAP3 GPIO device
  hdr/GPIODevice - Definition of GPIO device structure. Currently only used to store the type and revision of the main board, so the GPIO manager module can tailor its features appropriately.
  Makefile - Export hdr/GPIODevice
Admin:
  Tested on rev A2 BB-xM


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.42. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_42'

Detail:
  Three main changes:
  * On odd-numbered (i.e. development) versions of the module, the UtilityModule will now take its date from the VersionNum file instead of using a hard-coded date.
  * All build versions now look for the new "extended ROM footer" (as created by romlinker 0.04+) at the end of the ROM image and use it to determine the ROM build date for return by OS_ReadSysInfo 9,2. Failing to find the build date in the footer will cause OS_ReadSysInfo 9,2 to return 0.
  * On odd-numbered versions, OS_Byte 0 will now use the ROM build date (as found in the extended footer) to generate the error block that's returned to the user. This seems OK as the PRM describes OS_Byte 0 as returning the "creation date of the operation system". Plus it's a convenient way of getting the ROM build date into the Switcher, since the switcher uses OS_Byte 0. If the extended footer can't be found (or if the string hasn't been initialised yet, e.g. before Service_PostInit) the code falls back to a hard-coded string containing the date from the VersionNum file.
  File changes:
  Makefile - Updated to not create the obsolete Time+Date file (previously used for the ROM build date)
  Version - Use date from VersionNum file for development builds
  hdr/Options - New UseNewFX0Error variable/option to make it easy to check which OS_Byte 0 variant should be enabled
  hdr/KernelWS - Added new string buffers & extended ROM footer pointer to workspace
  s/Middle - Updated OS_ReadSysInfo 9 code, and added utility functions for searching the extended ROM footer for certain tags
  s/NewReset - Added a couple of calls to initialise the new string buffers just prior to Service_PostInit. This is required since OS_Byte/OS_ReadSysInfo shouldn't enable interrupts, but date conversion relies on the Territory module, which may enable interrupts.
  s/PMF/osbyte - Updated OS_Byte 0 code
Admin:
  Tested in OMAP ROM, with and without the extended footer present.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.41. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_41'

Detail:
  Makefile - Added hdr.Variables to the C header export list
  hdr/ARMops, s/ARMops - Added ARM1176JZF-S to the list of known CPUs
  s/ARMops - Fix unaligned memory access in ARM_PrintProcessorType
  hdr/Copro15ops, s/ARMops, s/HAL, s/VMSAv6, s/AMBControl/memmap - Fixed all myDSB/myISB/etc. macro instances to specify a temp register, so that they work properly when building an ARMv6 version of the kernel
Admin:
  Fixes build errors with the latest Draw module.
  Should also allow the kernel to work properly with the new S3C6410 port.
  ARMv6 version builds OK, but no other builds or runtime tests have been made.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.38. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_38'

Detail:
  Makefile - Now exports a C version of hdr.OSEntries, for use by the new HAL USB drivers
  s/GetAll, s/Kernel - The HALSize env variable is now used in place of hard-coded values for the HAL size
  s/HAL - Reset_IRQ_Handler now switches to SVC mode before calling HAL_KbdScanInterrupt, to allow the HAL USB drivers to re-enable interrupts if they wish.
  s/VMSAv6 - Deleted some obsolete definitions
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 BB, A2 BB-xM, C1 TouchBook
  Needs latest BuildSys, Env, HdrSrc


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.37. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_37'

Detail:
  Makefile rule was missing for VideoDevice header export, preventing it from being exported
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 beagleboard. (No, really, I mean it this time!)


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.17. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_17'

Detail:
  hdr/VideoDevice, Makefile - Add initial version of header for video HAL devices
  hdr/HALDevice - Add device IDs for OMAP3 DMA & video devices.
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 beagleboard


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.16. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_16'

Detail:
  HAL kernels (on the Cortex branch at least) now support HALDevice-based RTCs. If the kernels own RTC code is disabled or fails to detect an RTC, then after HAL_InitDevices is called the HALDevice list will be scanned for any HAL-resident RTC devices.
  Additionally, the RTCSupport flag (in Hdr:Machine.Machine), which was previously TRUE for all HAL kernels, can now be set to FALSE in HAL kernels to disable the kernels own IIC RTC code. This allows the unwanted legacy RTC code to be disabled for machines which are known to use HAL RTCs instead.
  hdr/RTCDevice - new header describing data structures used for HAL RTC device
  hdr/HALDevice - added RTCDevice device type, IIC serial bus type
  hdr/KernelWS - upgraded RTCFitted from a 1 byte field to 4 byte. It now stores either a null value (for no RTC), a value <2048 for an IIC RTC address, or a value >= 2048 for a RTCDevice ptr
  Makefile - added header export of hdr/RTCDevice
  s/GetAll - include hdr/RTCDevice
  s/NewReset - initialise HAL RTC after HAL_InitDevices if required
  s/PMF/i2cutils, s/PMF/osinit, s/PMF/osword - modifications to allow use of HAL RTC (and disallow use of builtin IIC RTC)
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 beagleboard


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.11. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_11'

Detail:
  s.PMF.i2cutils line 454: this LDR of byte values was harmless (bits 8
    upwards are discarded later) but slower than an LDRB on ARMv6 or later.
  s.PMF.i2cutils line 556: should have loaded RTCFitted using LDRB. Looks
    like effect would have been to reduce utilisation of CMOS cache.
  s.vdu.vduswis line 1500: mistakenly accessing ExternalFramestore using LDR.
    I don't think the intention was to prevent the screen DA being resized
    while screen memory was claimed, but that was the effect.
  s.vdu.vduwrch line 3106: this LDR of a 1-byte variable was harmless (only
    used for testing bit 4) but slower than an LDRB on ARMv6 or later.
  CPU version is no longer specified in the makefile - it's better to inherit
  it from the build environment now that we actually set it appropriately.
Admin:
  Built and briefly tested.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.9. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_9'

Detail:
  Tightened up BBE resources export, to exclude in appropriate files (this
  component has a non-standard resources directory structure).
Admin:
  Tested in a Tungsten BBE build.

Retagged, since this won't affect any existing builds.

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'

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

More stuff. Up to the desktop now; cache on, working keyboard. Some source restructuring to start to make splitting it up into several object files more feasible.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.2. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_2'

* Added ARM_IMB and ARM_IMBRange SWIs as recommended by ARMv5.
* Some early prototype HAL bits popped in - a lot of source restructuring still
  to come.
* New debug target creates an AIF image with debug information, and translates
  this into an ASCII object file for the 16702B logic analyser.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.1. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_1'

Detail:
  Hdr:RISCOS contains some of the most useful constant declarations,
    including the vector numbers and event numbers.  The new improved
    Hdr2H script is now capable of converting this header file into C
    too.  It exports it as <CExport$Dir>.Global.h.RISCOS.  It cannot
    interfere in existing code as it requires explicit inclusion as
    #include "Global/RISCOS.h".
  No actual kernel code changes.
Admin:
  File examined manually and checked for correctness against Hdr:RISCOS.
  Requires library 0.28 or later (RiscOS/Library  Tag: Library-0_28)

Version 4.82. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_82'

Modified HelpStrs (from which s.TMOSHelp is generated) to include help for
ChangeDynamicArea.

Version 4.73. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_73'

Bandwidth limit for 7500FE fixed.
RO371Timings flag set to :LNOT:STB
