/** \class MemoryArea
* \brief MemoryArea is used to manage distinct MemoryRegions of address space.
*
* Good linkers must well manipulate memory mapped I/O and dynamic memory.
* In MCLinker, MemoryArea is the decision-maker to use memory mapped I/O or
* dynamic memory. When a client requests MemoryArea for a piece of memory
* to hold a part of a file, MemoryArea is going to see whether the requested
* part of the file is already in any existing memory which is requested
* before. If it is, MemoryArea creates a new MemoryRegion within the memory
* requested before. Otherwise, MemoryArea uses memory mapped I/O or dynamic
* memory to load the file.
*
* If the part a file being loaded is larger than 3/4 pages, MemoryArea uses
* memory mapped I/O to load the file. Otherwise, MemoryArea uses dynamic
* memory to read the content of file into the memory space.
