USB 3.0 Support

[UsefulVideos]

Can this be extended to include usb 3.0 support thanks to other users backporting windows 8's generic usb 3.0 driver to windows xp using ntoskrnl emu kernel extender?
Basically, try to set usbhub3 and usbxhci to start=0 (Boot) and Group=Boot Bus Extender in both services and see if this works.
Backported USB 3.0 generic driver can be obtained from XP2ESD (it includes backported Kernel Mode Driver Framework 1.11 to get the usb 3.0 driver to work on XP).
I know that XP cannot natively support usb 3.0 but now that a backported version of the generic usb 3.0 driver for XP is available, you should consider adding entries in another conf file to boot XP from USB 3.0 drive.

USB 3.x boot support would be great. USB3 on my a320 Ryzen XP system works flawlessly.

I guess we need to populate the UsbBootWatcher.conf accordingly. also, UsbBootWatcher.exe has to become XP friendly.
