A holdover from citra, the Horizon kernel on the switch has no
prominent kernel object that functions as a timer. At least not
to the degree of sophistication that this class provided.
As such, this can be removed entirely. This class also wasn't used at
all in any meaningful way within the core, so this was just code sitting
around doing nothing. This also allows removing a few things from the
main KernelCore class that allows it to use slightly less resources
overall (though very minor and not anything really noticeable).
With the loading screen merged, we don't want to actually show at this
point, but it still needs to be shown to actually create the context.
Turns out you can just show and hide it immediately and it'll work.
With shader caches on the horizon, one requirement is to provide visible
feedback for the progress. The shader cache reportedly takes several
minutes to load for large caches that were invalidated, and as such we
should provide a loading screen with progress.
Adds a loading screen widget that will be shown until the first frame of
the game is swapped. This was chosen in case shader caches are not being
used, several games still take more than a few seconds to launch and
could benefit from a loading screen.
This is a function that definitely doesn't always have a non-modifying
behavior across all implementations, so this should be made non-const.
This gets rid of the need to mark data members as mutable to work around
the fact mutating data members needs to occur.
This makes the naming more closely match its meaning. It's just a
preferred core, not a required default core. This also makes the usages
of this term consistent across the thread and process implementations.
