      Implement read/write operations and KUSEG regions · 8653f76f
      Geo Ster authored
      * Now that the BIOS is loaded we can start executing it!
      The starting address the EE uses is 0xbfc00000 which maps
      to KUSEG1. Since all KUSEG regions except KUSEG2 are mirrors
      of each other we only need to translate the address to the
      KUSEG appropriate.
      
      * The functional differences between KUSEG0/1 are minimal and
      very niche so I won't bother emulating them now. Address wise
      we can notice that the only difference between addresses is the
      most significant half byte. By using that byte as an index in
      a mask table we can define an appropriate mask for each KUSEG
      address. Idea taken from a very handy PSX document I discovered
      last year [1]

      Add initial memory map · a54398cc
      Geo Ster authored
      * The ps2tek documentation states the memory map clearly [1].
      It seems to have a similar architecture with the PSX, where
      the main memory map (KUSEG0) is mirrored in multiple regions
      (KUSEG1/KUSEG2) with different access patterns for each region.
      For now we don't have to emulate all of them, just the main
      memory map.
      
      * Allocate the entire 512MB memory into an array and make a convenient
      struct to abstract memory range operations.
