Big Sur on MacBook7,1

I made some contributions to the Big Sur patching effort, including the installer hacks used by barrykn's micropatcher and its derivatives. I helped develop parts (userspace, nVidia Tesla, and AMD TeraScale 2) of OpenCore Legacy Patcher's non-Metal acceleration fixes.



I'm mainly working on Monterey now, but will support Big Sur in the same codebase.
