Aidan MacDonald 01f96e40a7 mpegplayer: remove IRAM save/restore hack
On targets where plugins can use IRAM, mpegplayer copies
its own IRAM region to main memory before enabling voiced
menus and then copies it back when exiting the menu.

I'm reasonably certain this is unnecessary because the
core IRAM area is completely separate from plugin IRAM
(which is the same memory as codec IRAM). If they _did_
conflict, then we'd expect to see massive problems with
voiced menus during normal playback since most codecs
make fairly heavy use of IRAM.

There are two other reasons to get rid of this hack:
(1) it's ugly, and (2) it will not work on targets with
"split" IRAM like on the STM32H743 where the fastest
code/data memories are separate.

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Clone 'rockbox' from git (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox

     or

   $ tar xJf rockbox.tar.xz

2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
   and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.

   $ cd rockbox
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build

3. Make sure you have mips/m68k/arm-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
   that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
   a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
   can be generated using the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source.

   $ which arm-elf-eabi-gcc
   $ which perl

4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
   target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
   few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
   gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
   Archos.

   $ ../tools/configure

5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.

6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make
   $ make zip

7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
   *smile*.

If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:

   $ mkdir build-fuzeplus
   $ cd build-fuzeplus
   $ ../tools/configure

   $ mkdir build-xduoox3
   $ cd build-xduoox3
   $ ../tools/configure
