Stores to I/O addresses with no register returned Unmapped and stopped the
machine. Hardware ignores them. Emulated writes there now pay their bus cost and
change nothing; host writes stay strict. The unmodeled internal memory control
register at 0x04xx0800 and all unused I/O reads remain diagnostics.
Rollback tests that used unused I/O as their failing word now run the block on
to a register that rejects the stored value: SIOMULTI2 outside multiplayer
mode, an RCNT GPIO serial IRQ, or 64-sample wave playback. Where no reachable
register can fail (JOYSTAT, POSTFLG/HALTCNT, IME, DMA3CNT), the test now checks
that the block commits and the unused word is ignored.
