Memory is modelled as a tree (really acyclic graph) of MemoryRegion objects. |
|
| 19 |
The root of the tree is memory as seen from the CPU's viewpoint (the system |
|
| 20 |
bus). Nodes in the tree represent other buses, memory controllers, and |
|
| 21 |
memory regions that have been rerouted. Leaves are RAM and MMIO regions. |

Memory is modelled as an acyclic graph of MemoryRegion objects. Sinks |
|
| 19 |
(leaves) are RAM and MMIO regions, while other nodes represent |
|
| 20 |
buses, memory controllers, and memory regions that have been rerouted. |

|
| 22 |
In addition to MemoryRegion objects, the memory API provides AddressSpace |
|
| 23 |
objects for every root and possibly for intermediate MemoryRegions too. |
|
| 24 |
These represent memory as seen from the CPU or a device's viewpoint. |
