In addition to about 4mb of dynamic RAM (depending on device;  some
have tons more, and some have less) one can often count on about 4mb
of feature memory, which is implemented as RAM but is slower to write
(one can read it fast, like RAM, but writing goes through an API). 
One can override MMU settings and write fast to it, but I'd rather not
do too much in the way of undocumented things.
