High-frequency files increasingly use a block size of over 4608B, which
means we need larger buffers to decode them. However, larger buffers no
longer fit in IRAM on less-capable devices, hurting performance for
"normal" file playback.
On our slowest devices (M68K and PP-based devices), this is not worth
the tradeoff as they will likely not have enough CPU oomph to decode and
downmix these files in realtime.
S5L87xx-based devices have the raw performance to do this, so we decided
to err on the side of wider file compatibility at the cost of some
performance.
All other devices are unaffected.

On Classic, IRAM1 (second 128Kb of a total of 256KB available IRAM) is
slower than DRAM. Codecs that actually are using regions of IRAM1 runs
faster when DRAM is used, so IRAM1 is disabled and only IRAM0 remains
enabled: 48KB for core and 80KB for codecs/plugins.
The next test_codec results shows how decode time is decreased:
file boosted unboosted
*.ra ~1.5% ~0.5%
*.mpc ~21% ~4.5%
*.ogg ~0.5% ~0%
nero_he*.m4a ~8% ~1%
nero*.m4a ~25% ~7%
wmapro*.wma ~4.5% ~0%
wma*.wma ~25% ~7%
In addition there is a small power save when IRAM1 HW is disabled.

librbcodec users must provide these two files when the library is built.
rbcodecconfig.h provides configuration #defines and basic types, and
will be included by public librbcodec headers, so it must not conflict
with the user's code. rbcodecplatform.h provides various OS functions,
and will only be included by source files and private headers. This
system is intended to provide maximum flexibility for use on embedded
systems, where no operating system headers are included. Unix systems
can just copy rbcodecconfig-example.h and rbcodecplatform-unix.h with
minimal changes.
