- Linear simply indicates that the mapped physical address is always MappedVAddr+0x0C000000, thus this memory can be used for hardware devices' DMA (such as the GPU).
24-bit floating points are used internally for calculations on the GPU, however the current code will still emulate that with 32-bit floating points.
In the future we might want to accurately perform the calculations with correct bitness in the future, but for now we just wrap the calculations around this class.
This cleans up the mess that address reading/writing had become and makes the code a *lot* more sensible.
This adds a physical<->virtual address converter to mem_map.h. For further accuracy, we will want to properly extend this to support a wider range of address regions. For now, this makes simply homebrew applications work in a good manner though.
While it was some nice and fancy template usage, it ultimately had many practical issues regarding length of involved expressions under regular usage as well as common code completion tools not being able to handle the structures.
Instead, we now use a more conventional approach which is a lot more clean to use.
