Some statements express that the device MAY allow access to memory inside unplugged memory blocks, although it's really just unexpected behavior and conforming drivers MUST NOT perform such access. Clarify that, and move the special CPU vs. DMA handling for some unplugged memory blocks to the driver section instead. While at it, start rephrasing our statements to clarify and prepare for further changes.
