ReactOS implements very first NT6 system call

A fairly big moment for the ReactOS project: it has just received its very first system call from NT6.

The system call that has been added is NtGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx, which is used for returning the processor number of the logical processor that a caller is running on. It's unclear how long it will take ReactOS to become compatible with Windows Vista software, but it took Microsoft around half a decade to develop Vista after the release of XP and marked a major upgrade, even if it didn't land well with users at the time.

It's a milestone for sure, but not one that's going to make a huge difference for ReactOS at this moment in time. Still, it's a sign of things to come, even if the very nature of the ReactOS project means that whatever things are coming tend to take a while to arrive.
