/**
 * Memory mapped interface to the system console. This device
 * represents a shared data region between the OS Kernel and the
 * System Console Backdoor.
 *
 * The system console is a small standalone program that is initially
 * run when the system boots.  It contains the necessary code to
 * access the boot disk, to read/write from the console, and to pass
 * boot parameters to the kernel.
 *
 * This version of the system console is very different from the one
 * that would be found in a real system.  Many of the functions use
 * some sort of backdoor to get their job done.  For example, reading
 * from the boot device on a real system would require a minimal
 * device driver to access the disk controller, but since we have a
 * simulator here, we are able to bypass the disk controller and
 * access the disk image directly.  There are also some things like
 * reading the kernel off the disk image into memory that are normally
 * taken care of by the console that are now taken care of by the
 * simulator.
 *
 * These shortcuts are acceptable since the system console is
 * primarily used doing boot before the kernel has loaded its device
 * drivers.
