* Complete rewrite focusing on legibility and extensibility.
* 27/121 opcodes (mostly) implemented.
* Bugfix for reset status of interrupt priority bits.
* Bugfix for disassembly of register-to-register parallel data move.
[[These changes bring the driver up to the point where the plygonet hardware begins banking memory. The behavior is understood, so I should have the driver back to where it was before the rewrite soon. Then real progress can be made.]]
(also added a to-check note, 16-bit wide DMA is currently using 32-bit functions, is this correct?)
Removed Speedups from CPS3 / PsikyoSH, while they do still give a decent speed boost they're not really needed with the DRC and just clutter the code.

Subject: 6821 PIA changes
Hi,
Can this change be added to the 6821 pia code, it adds a function that
allows the client code to get the status of CA2, taking account of the
internal pull up resistor. This code only adds a function and does not
change any existing code so should not have any impact on existing
drivers.
This change is needed for a couple of the mess drivers.
Thanks.
Phill.

(testing the water, if Arika aren't happy with comments mentioning them, then there isn't much chance of them ever being supported, seems smarter than just adding them outright)
