I'd think a memset() like interface would be better but...
I can work with that.
We should definitely implement this function in terms of
cpu_physical_memory_write instead of open coding the logic again.
Hrm. Having solved merge conflicts several times by recopying the
cpu_physical_memory_rw() logic, I can certainly see the attraction in
that. However, the point of this function is *not* to have to
allocate a temporary buffer, and I don't really see how to combine the
logic without that.
