Daniel SamsonandClaude Fable 5 724de7bbd0 M2 step 3: route every physical dereference through the physmap
paging.init now builds the physmap (physToVirt(phys)) alongside the low
identity map, so both addressing modes resolve during the transition.
tableAt (the page-table walk hinge), the pmm bitmap, the framebuffer,
LAPIC/IOAPIC/HPET/PM-timer/SPCR MMIO, the ACPI table walk, AML
OperationRegions, the ACPI power registers, the user-ELF frame fills,
and the AP trampoline arm/disarm all reach physical memory through the
physmap. Hal.mapMmio now maps into the physmap and returns the virtual
address, so the device layer never learns the layout. boot_info and its
pointees are converted at kmain entry. The kernel still links and runs
low; identity is the safety net until it's removed. Suite 27/27.

//! Physical memory manager: a bitmap frame allocator. It hands out and reclaims
//! 4 KiB physical frames — the primitive every later memory feature (page
//! tables, the heap) is built on top of.
//!
//! This is generic kernel code: it works on the neutral `danos.MemoryRegion`
//! array the loader hands over (see docs/memory-map.md), so it carries no UEFI
//! and nothing architecture-specific beyond the 4 KiB page.
