Unfortunately, the 0xE0000000-0xFFFFFFFF range is unused in Xenia because
it maps to physical memory with a single page offset, which is impossible
to do under the Win32 API.
to do under the Win32 API. We can't fake this either, as this offset is
built into games - see the following sequence:
```
srwi r9, r10, 20 # r9 = r10 >> 20
clrlwi r10, r10, 3 # r10 = r10 & 0x1FFFFFFF (physical address)
addi r11, r9, 0x200
rlwinm r11, r11, 0,19,19 # r11 = r11 & 0x1000
add r11, r11, r10 # add 1 page to addresses > 0xE0000000
# r11 = addess passed to GPU
```
