The 556MB monolithic redox.patch was impossible to manage, unreviewable,
blocked GitHub pushes, and could only grow. This commit:
- Moves all 64 absorbed patches from absorbed/ to active use in base/
- Removes the absorbed/ directory (consolidation history is now PATCH-HISTORY.md)
- Removes the redox.patch symlink from recipes/core/base/
- Fixes all recipe symlinks to point to active patches (not absorbed/)
- Patches are now individually wired, reviewable, and independently rebasable
The redox.patch mega-file is no longer needed — individual patches
are applied directly from the recipe.toml patches list.
- IOAPIC: enable full IOAPIC initialization on AMD/Intel bare metal,
dual GSI 0/2 timer mapping for platform compatibility, NMI handler
uses raw COM1 PIO writes to avoid mutex deadlock
- HPET: counter validation, graceful fallback to PIT when HPET missing
- PS/2: fix 0xFE RESEND handling in all MouseState variants, add
controller flush/self-test retry/aux port test from Linux 7.0
- ACPI: defer AML evaluation to avoid blocking initfs driver spawn
- VT chain: remove duplicate rootfs service files (inputd, vesad,
fbcond, getty) that were already handled by initfs phase 1 and the
legacy 30_console script from minimal.toml
- QEMU verified: boots to login prompt, 20 rootfs units (was 26),
single login prompt (was double), only 1 expected error (wifictl)
