Mem: Finish half-baked support for mmaping file in physmem.

Physmem has a parameter to be able to mem map a file, however
it isn't actually used. This changeset utilizes the parameter
so a file can be mmapped.

I realize these names predate this patch, but your changes make it evident that cachedSize and cachedStart are actually kind of dumb names, so this might be a good time to fix that.  Since these are really just member variables that have accessors, shouldn't they be named _size and _start?
  1. They have accessors? We could add some, but I don't think they have any.
