Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5.5 ed25f9c436 ME: Let mcidclan's MIST restart Sony's ME firmware and run tasks
MIST (and psp-media-engine-safe-task, and NJEMU through it) restart the
ME through me_wrapper's bootstrap at 0xBFC00040, after patching it to
point a0 at main RAM, which makes the firmware take its resume-from-
sleep path: restore eDRAM from a0 and go back to the main loop. They
then put a task's address in the firmware's command table with
DMACplus and send a command with the soft interrupt.

- The boot now leaves a bootstrap with 6.61's layout at 0xBFC00040,
  and a stand-in for me_wrapper's ME stub (which isn't loaded under
  HLE) that runs the image.
- The firmware never sets Status.IE: it gates interrupts with mtic
  alone, so either one enables them now. Its main loop enables them for
  only a few instructions, so mtic takes a pending one right away.
- Opcode 0x2C, which the resume path runs, is a no-op on the ME.
- Sysreg 0x00 reads 0 (the bootstrap's debug handler check), 0x70 is
  kept, and the DDR flush register (0xBD000004) is always done.
