Source Changes

Major cleanup/rewrite of the Berzerk driver: [smf]

* merged memory & io read/write maps.

* video ram & magic ram share the same memory.

* hooked up nvram in frenzy memory map.

* emulates magic ram shifter/flopper with 9 74LS153's as per the schematics.

* emulates magic ram alu with 2 74LS181's hardwired to logic mode as per the schematics.

Updates for the ARM core: [bryan McPhail]

Deco fixes: [bryan McPhail, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

* Deco MLC video hardware near perfect for the most part, however no game works properly because of an unemulated math coprocessor attached to the DE156 chip.

* Deco 32: Night Slashers pretty much perfect apart from lack of sound. 

* Deco 32: Some graphics fixes for Tattoo Assassins.

* Deco 156: Heavy Smash pretty much perfect.
