/**
 * The physical memory encapsulates all memories in the system and
 * provides basic functionality for accessing those memories without
 * going through the memory system and interconnect.
 *
 * The physical memory is also responsible for providing the host
 * system backingstore used by the memories in the simulated guest
 * system. When the system is created, the physical memory allocates
 * the backing store based on the address ranges that are populated in
 * the system, and does so independent of how those map to actual
 * memory controllers. Thus, the physical memory completely abstracts
 * the mapping of the backing store of the host system and the address
 * mapping in the guest system. This enables us to arbitrarily change
 * the number of memory controllers, and their address mapping, as
 * long as the ranges stay the same.
