// This class lets you create a block of anonymous RAM, and then arbitrarily map views into it.
// Multiple views can mirror the same section of the block, which makes it very convient for emulating
// memory mirrors.
// Pass ensure_low_mem = true to CreateView if you want arbitrarily positioned views to end up in the low 2GB.
