 10.4.0 XNU Kernel for INTEL/AMD by  qoopz/nawcom/AnV/BlackKnight/mucha

		| Standard fixes are included, plus a few extra stuff: 
 * Built-in  kernel blacklister automatically blacklists bad kexts from loading.  Therefore you don't need to use a disabler to disable it manually
 *  bigger dmesg Which translates to a larger log file so that you can  troubleshoot easily
 * uuid patching/fix Eliminates the need of UUID  kext or specifying manually
 * fsb detection
 * cpu cache detection
 *  reboot fix- Eliminates the need of OpenHaltRestart and fixes  shutdown/reboot issue
 * sse3emu -SSE3 emulator for SSE2 processors .  Bear in mind that most of the applications in Snow Leopard run fine with  this emulator.
 * For people wanting to use XCode apps, I decided to  add all the CHUD kexts to the kext blacklist. This means no more kp  hell when installing and dealing with the development tools. If anyone  thinks this is something that shouldn't be added, let me know.
 
 Added  stuff:
 
 * Some of AnVs patches from the 10.6.2 diff
 *  BlackKnight's fsb fix
 * mucha's lapic fix (common issues with new HP  laptops, meklort plans on including a fix for this in Chameleon)
 Features  in this specific package:
 
 * If you have SleepEnabler installed,  your SleepEnabler kext will get updated. If you don't use it, don't  worry about it - it won't get installed.
 * All of the CPUIDs in the  new versions of programs from the 10.6.4 update will get patched. this  means you don't need to deal with the hell regarding iTunes, etc.
 
 (The  actual patcher program also gets installed (/usr/local/bin/patcher, you  can run from anyware via Terminal) as well as the CPUID text file  (/Library/CPUIDs/*) Though this is only important to people who love  control and want to be able to run it themselves :-P - this is all  automated in the installer regardless. Unfortunately we still havent  gotten on the fly patching working, so this is a reasonable fix for it  for now.)
 
 I do make cpuid files for updates and keep them online http://nawcom.com/osx86/cpuids/  for AMD people to use regarding updates as well as a nice frontend to  Maxxuss' patcher app, drag and drop a cpuid.txt file onto the app to  launch it - just like Taruga's HDA Patcher.
 
 Good luck to all.  Source diffs are always available. -> http://nawcom.com/osx86/files/10.6/Kernels...l-1504.7.4.diff
 
 Remember  the voodoo xnu project?
 
 I believe that we can get many  developers together once again and make this a reality once more. Sadly  many of the original devs are gone, yet there are many who are willing  to improve this code a ton. Many people can create their own fixes and  improvements, but there's no way we have a kernel like there was in 10.5  without us coming together as a group.
 
 I have messaged AnV and  BlackKnight as well as a few others who I know can help contribute to  this and revive the xnu project for AMD and legacy Intel (perhaps we  will revive the voodoo name) and I am looking for anyone who can  contribute code-wise who can work together to make this a reality once  again.
 
 Probably our 2 main goals as of now is:
 * sysenter  emulation to make 64 bit userspace work with 32 bit apps
 * correctly  port on the fly cpuid patching, so no manual cpuid patching is needed  again
 
 For anyone who can help code-wise, join #xnu-chat on  irc.voodooprojects.org. Once we get this together we can create a google  code project and make this easily available. My personal plan is, if  this succeeds this won't be the final version of the 10.6.4 kernel at  all.
 
 As I said, we can get this project in an organized state  once again, and hopefully within the next month it can happen.

 Many  thanks to qoopz, AnV, BlackKnight, mucha, and everyone in the original  voodoo-xnu team - mercurysquad, Galaxy, kaitek, Turbo. I'm probably  missing some names. Yell at me if I am.

Wow... just a few hours after Apple has released the src...
