Create DXT which removes signature checking on debug kernels about xboxdev HOT 2 OPEN

Yes, I assume nkpatcher also does that; it should probably still be patched in the kernel (which would assign those flags instead of checking for them).

The DXT could update flags after loading it, but it's probably easier to just patch the kernel to patch the XBE; that way, the DXT (including it's headers and patcher code) can be unloaded as quickly as possible (keep memory usage low).

Keep in mind that the Region and Media check are also performed by the running title in later XDK revisions, so even though the kernel can load an Xbe, that doesn't mean it will run:

It is for this reason that Cxbx-R patches the Certificate to update the Region and Media Flags, see:

Before this, we had an issue where only games using early XDKs would boot, unless they were externally patched.
