These methods, intended for generic devices with indefinite hardware
specifications, override the endianness, data bus width and address
bus width assigned through the constructor. They must be called from
within the device before **config_complete** time.

@ -76,3 +85,8 @@ Using that interface makes the device derive from
**device_memory_interface**. If the device wants to actually use the
memory interface for itself, remember that AS_0/AS_PROGRAM is used by
the rom interface, and don't forget to upcall **memory_space_config**.
For devices which have outputs that can be used to address ROMs but
only to forward the data to another device for processing, it may be
helpful to disable the interface when it is not required. This can be
done by overriding **memory_space_config** to return an empty vector.
