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

4GB of memory.

The memory controller diverts addresses in the range 640K-768K to the PCI
address space. This is modeled using the "vga-window" alias, mapped at a
address space. This is modelled using the "vga-window" alias, mapped at a
higher priority so it obscures the RAM at the same addresses. The vga window
can be removed by programming the memory controller; this is modelled by
removing the alias and exposing the RAM underneath.
