Wim Taymans 80f4716a61 memory: check semantics of nested mappings
Count how many mappings are currently active and also with what access pattern.
Update the design doc with restrictions on the access patterns for nested
mappings.
Check if nested mappings obey the access mode restrictions of the design doc.
Add various unit tests to check the desired behaviour.
