Oops, told you I tried different things...

That seems to have an implicit dependency of sysreg.h on memory.h, doesn't it?
I had it the other way round initially. I also tried including memory.h in
sysreg.h. That creates a circular dependency mmdebug.h -> bug.h -> ... ->
sysreg.h -> memory.h -> mmdebug.h. Pretty annoying. I could try to fix that,
or create a new header file... :(
