This adds a new texture memory allocation header,
texture_memory_alloc2.hpp, with two of each memory area.
This also adds two new examples, "cube_textured" and "cube_vq" that
demonstrate using the new texture_memory_alloc2 to perform CORE
rendering, geometry transformation, and tile acceleration
concurrently.
The previous texture_memory_alloc.hpp was written based on an
incorrect understanding of the "32-bit" and "64-bit" texture memory
address mapping.
The primary motivation is to rearrange the texture memory address map
so that "textures" (64-bit access) do not overlap with 32-bit
accesses, such as REGION_BASE or PARAM_BASE.
The serial_transfer loader, as long as the target program voluntarily
terminates itself at some point, is able to load multiple programs
consecutively without requiring a physical power cycle to reload the
transfer program from CD.
The current example.mk juggles between two different "memory layouts",
one for "burn to a physical CD" and another for "load via serial
cable". Because the serial_transfer program now relocates itself to
the end of system memory, this means the 0x8c010000 area is now usable
by programs that are loaded by serial_transfer.
This still has issues, notably:
Despite the first 16kbytes of audio being loaded prior to starting the
AICA ARM7 CPU, the GDROM drive returns "busy" for the following
~48kbytes. This in turn causes the AICA to play audio from
uninitialized memory.
There is also a separate issue where the timing of changing the start
address of the audio channel causes a faint popping sound throughout
the audio playback.
I should do more timing experiments with the GDROM drive, and improve
this example to play the audio with fewer artifacts.
