The changes are now in VMMaker-dtl.109 on SqueakSource.

The change set is also on Mantis 7233: mmap mapping to particular address
to avoid oops address remapping at startup time.

Andreas, Ian: No changes are required for Windows or Unix platform sources.

Pass image file and image header length to object memory allocation
function in order to enable mmap loading without address swizzling,
per jmm proposal.

CCodeGenerator will provide default implementations in interp.h that are
backward compatible with the existing platform support code. These defaults
may be overridden by adding definitions such as the following to sqConfig.h
(or config.h via configure for the unix VM).

#define allocateMemoryMinimumImageFileHeaderSize(heapSize, minimumMemory, fileStream, headerSize) \
    myMemoryAllocator(heapSize, minimumMemory, fileStream, headerSize)


#define sqImageFileReadEntireImage(memoryAddress, fileStream, elementSize,  length) \
    myImageFileReader(memoryAddress, fileStream, elementSize,  length)
