Previously ROMs lived in /storage/games-internal/roms/ and were
bind-mounted to /storage/roms/ at runtime. When users mounted the
ROMS partition on PC, they had to navigate through games-internal/
to find their ROM folders.
Now /storage/roms/ is the actual ROM directory:
- Single SD: no bind mount needed, roms/ used directly
- Dual SD (merged storage): overlay still works as before
- Migration: if games-internal/roms has content, auto-moves to roms/
- Backwards compat: symlink games-internal/roms → roms
Users now see their 130 system folders directly in the roms/ directory
when they mount the ROMS partition on PC.

ROOT CAUSE: The DTS patch removed ALL GPU OPPs (200/300/400/480 MHz)
and only kept 560/600 MHz. The GPU devfreq governor starts at the
LOWEST available OPP. Without 200 MHz, the GPU couldn't initialize
its clock, causing a black screen on boot.
Fix: Keep original 200/300/400 MHz OPPs, only replace 480 MHz with
560 MHz (overclock) and add 600 MHz. GPU can now initialize at 200 MHz
and scale up to 600 MHz.
Building Panfrost as built-in (=y) changes DRM probe order: GPU driver
initializes before the DSI panel driver completes, breaking the display
pipeline. As module (=m), panfrost loads after the display is already up.

Based on RK3399 config, optimized for 640x480:
- Window 640x480 (native R36S resolution)
- JIT enabled (performance critical on Cortex-A35)
- Software 3D renderer (Mali-G31 too weak for GL renderer)
- Threaded 3D enabled

The base package.mk expands PKG_URL with PKG_VERSION=3.9 before our
override changes it to 3.10. Adding explicit PKG_URL ensures the
correct version is downloaded.

Cherry-pick created it under projects/ROCKNIX/ but build system looks
under projects/ArchR/. Copy to correct location.

The cherry-picked systemd timeout config was in the base package path
but the ArchR project overlay was missing it, causing build failure
(cp: cannot stat system.conf.d/*).

- GameCube: Add dolphin-lr as default core for RK3326 (user decides if
performance is acceptable for their games)
- Wii/WiiWare: Same - dolphin-lr available for all devices
- NDS: Add melonDS standalone for RK3326 (was only available on RK3399+)
- DSiWare: Add melonDS standalone option for RK3326
- RK3326 package list: Add melonds-sa and dolphin-lr to build
Critical fixes:
- archr-dtbo.py: Remove premature return for odroidgo3-compatible devices
that was skipping hardware property generation (reset-gpios, power-supply,
backlight-supply, enable-delay-ms). This is the ROOT CAUSE of Panel 4
wrong image and vibration issues reported by users.
- RetroArch: Switch from glcore to gl (more efficient on Panfrost/Mali-G31),
increase swapchain images from 2 to 3 (better frame pacing on Mali)
- DraStic: Disable hires_3d on ALL RK3326 configs (Mali-G31 lacks power for
high-res 3D rendering, was causing frame drops in NDS games)
- EmulationStation: Bump to latest with performance optimizations

- mali-bifrost: Bump kbase to 39da994 (latest from ROCKNIX)
- BFQ I/O scheduler: Add udev rule to set BFQ for MMC/SD card devices
- Kernel config: Update RUSTC_VERSION to 109401, add BLK_CGROUP_RWSTAT/BLK_ICQ
for BFQ cgroup support, add GENERIC_IRQ_KEXEC_CLEAR_VM_FORWARD,
rename HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL to HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS

On ROCKNIX's read-only squashfs root, network services don't need
graceful shutdown — only persistent storage sync matters. Services
like iwd and systemd-resolved can hang for 90s (the systemd default)
on shutdown/reboot, blocking device access during development and
causing poor user experience on handheld gaming devices.
Changes:
- Add system.conf.d/10-shutdown-timeout.conf with
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=5s and DefaultTimeoutAbortSec=5s
- Add TimeoutStopSec=1s to iwd.service (matches existing pattern
used by avahi, bluez, sshd, samba)
- Add TimeoutStopSec=1s to systemd-resolved override
