    Update SCSISoftUSB to use RTSupport where possible, for much better USB performance · 5204687d

    Detail:
      On initialisation SCSISoftUSB now checks if a suitable version of the RTSupport module is loaded (0.05 or above), and if so, will use RTSupport in preference to TickerV to schedule USB transfers. When combined with tweaked DeviceFS buffer thresholds and some extra code to listen out for buffer filling/emptying upcalls, this allows for significant performance improvements for USB 2.0 devices.
      If at any point RTSupport becomes unavailable or the RT_Register SWI fails (or if a suitable version of RTSupport is not present) the code will (potentially temporarily) fall back to using TickerV to ensure the filesystem remains functional.
    Admin:
      Tested on RISC OS 5.15 rev C2 beagleboard & RISC OS 5.12 Iyonix with & without RTSupport 0.05.
