By meklort, Updated module system. Hooks can now be used within modules when cetaion functions are called in chameleon. Note that onle two hooks currently exist, more need to be added. I also updated the HelloWorld module to use a hook instead of print out right away.
1- Added module hooks + callback system. Main code still needs ot be populated with hooks
2- Added module support
3- Fixed lapic_init patch. Fixed _cpuid_set_info patch to work on the 10.6.0 / 10.6.1 kernel (patches cpumodel)
4- Added USB Legacy Off patch. Modified to run immediately *before* the kernel is executed, that
5 way no files need to be loaded after the usb device is reset.
6- Backup original dsdt to /dsdt/originaldsdt in the IORegistery
7- Added kernel patcher, removes the CPUID check panic in the kernel. Forces _cpuid_set_info to
8 return Penryn / cpuid model 23

10- Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...
11- Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...
12- Optimized smbios table address search
13- Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set
14- Added ram table structures definitions
15- Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries
16- Changed "Default Partition" behaviour to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.
17- Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln
18- Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6
19- improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.
20- Nvidia injection fix
21- pciroot would not always return correct uuid in autodection mode
22- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
23- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
24 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
25 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
26- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
27 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
28
29- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
30 only if ovveriden
31- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
32 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig aer now DEPRECATED.
33
34- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disapeared in his patch, should be more discussed for RC6)
35- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
36- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
37 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ prerocessor definitions
38- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
39 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
40- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
41- Added the PciRoot autodetection feature imported from pcefi10.5
42- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
43 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
44- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
45 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
46- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
47- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
48 stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions
49 to handle const char * values instead of char*.
