ReadAs

readAs is a special functionality provided by an unknown device.

It can be used to read/write data anywhere on the mapped memory. It is suspected to be a DMAC4 interface.

It is never accessed by any currently reverse-engineered code and is not referenced in any accessible memory map.

Modes
Mode is a bitfield. You can enable/disable some readAs features as well as change the used DMAC channel.

Observation: while write mode always respects bits 3-6, read mode seems to have a set of address ranges that always read all 4 bytes.
