on PPC32 now but break it on the other platforms. Julian will commit a
change to ensure the 32-bit floats are copied through the FP regs on all
platforms to make the broken ones work again.

noaccess, writable, readable, other
Now they are:
noaccess, undefined, defined, partdefined
As a result, the following names:
make_writable, make_readable,
check_writable, check_readable, check_defined
have become:
make_mem_undefined, make_mem_defined,
check_mem_is_addressable, check_mem_is_defined, check_value_is_defined
(and likewise for the upper-case versions for client request macros).
The old MAKE_* and CHECK_* macros still work for backwards compatibility.
This is much better, because the old names were subtly misleading. For
example:
- "readable" really meant "readable and writable".
- "writable" really meant "writable and maybe readable, depending on how
the read value is used".
- "check_writable" really meant "check writable or readable"
The new names avoid these problems.
The recently-added macro which was called MAKE_DEFINED is now
MAKE_MEM_DEFINED_IF_ADDRESSABLE.
I also corrected the spelling of "addressable" in numerous places in
memcheck.h.

Memcheck, replacing the 9-bits-per-byte shadow memory representation to a
2-bits-per-byte representation (with possibly a little more on the side) by
taking advantage of the fact that extremely few memory bytes are partially
defined.
For the SPEC2k benchmarks with "test" inputs, this speeds up Memcheck by a
(geometric mean) factor of 1.20, and reduces the size of shadow memory by a
(geometric mean) factor of 4.26.
At the same time, Addrcheck is removed. It hadn't worked for quite some
time, and with these improvements in Memcheck its raisons-d'etre have
shrivelled so much that it's not worth the effort to keep around. Hooray!
Nb: this code hasn't been tested on PPC. If things go wrong, look first in
the fast stack-handling functions (eg. mc_new_mem_stack_160,
MC_(helperc_MAKE_STACK_UNINIT)).
