87   *  Helpers to share 32-bit addressable data with MacOS
88 + *
89 + *  There are two distinct allocatable regions:
90 + *
91 + *  - The Data region is used to share data between MacOS and
92 + *    SheepShaver. This is stack-like allocation since it is
93 + *    meant to only hold temporary data which dies at the end
94 + *    of the current function scope.
95 + *
96 + *  - The Procedure region is used to hold permanent M68K or
97 + *    PowerPC code to assist native routine implementations.
98 + *
99 + *  - The Procedure region grows up whereas the Data region
100 + *    grows down. They may intersect into the ZeroPage, which
101 + *    is a read-only page with all bits set to zero. In practise,
102 + *    the intersection is unlikely since the Procedure region is
103 + *    static and the Data region is meant to be small (< 256 KB).
