Internal details: The large region is split into individual same-sized blocks of memory. On creation, we allocate a single block of memory that will always remain zero, and map that into the entire memory region. Then, the first time any of these blocks is written to, we swap the mapped zero block out with a newly allocated block of memory. On clear, we swap back to the zero block and deallocate the data blocks. That way we only actually allocate one zero block as well as a handful of real data blocks where the JitCache actually writes to.

Fundamentally, all this does is enforce the invariant that we always
translate effective addresses based on the current BAT registers and
page table before we do anything else with them.
This change can be logically divided into three parts. The first part is
creating a table to represent the current BAT state, and keeping it up to
date (PowerPC::IBATUpdated, PowerPC::DBATUpdated, etc.). This does
nothing by itself, but it's necessary for the other parts.
The second part (mostly in MMU.cpp) is simply removing all the hardcoded
checks for specific untranslated addresses, and consistently translating
addresses using the current BAT configuration. Very straightforward, but a
lot of code changes because we hardcoded assumptions all over the place.
The third part (mostly in Memmap.cpp) is making the fastmem arena reflect
the current BAT configuration. We do this by redoing the mapping (calling
memmap()) based on the BAT table whenever it changes.
One additional minor change is that translation can fail in two ways:
either the segment is a direct store segment, or page table lookup failed.
The difference doesn't usually matter, but the difference affects cache
instructions, like dcbz.
The PowerPC CPU has bits in MSR (DR and IR) which control whether
addresses are translated. We should respect these instead of mixing
physical addresses and translated addresses into the same address space.
This is mostly mass-renaming calls to memory accesses APIs from places
which expect address translation to use a different version from those
which do not expect address translation.
This does very little on its own, but it's the first step to a correct BAT
implementation.
This code originally tried to map the "low space" for the Gamecube's
memory layout, but since has expanded to mapping all of the easily
mappable memory on the system. Change the name to "GrabSHMSegment" to
indicate that we're looking for a shared memory segment we can map into
our process space.
These are effectively unused, since the memmap already maps them in one
place. For 32-bit, they might have some slight advantage, but we already
special-case the regular "high-mem" pointer for 32-bit, so just use the
one we already have...
