The Latte hardware implements AMBA (possibly rev 2.0) compliant AHB buses for communication to/from the Starbuck's CPU and assorted on-chip hardware blocks (DMA, for example).
One of such blocks appears to be a customized memory controller that is responsible for several tasks such as DDR configuration, flushing memory to/from the AHB and employing a custom memory protection solution dubbed MEM_BLOCK.
This controller appears to be an extension of the one that was previously used on the Wii.

Access U R/W
Field MODE

This register modifies the translation of addresses to MEM1 locations in blocks of 0x100 bytes. It is modified by cafe2wii while entering vWii mode.

The 25 bits of a MEM1 address can be split into 8 least significant bits of offset, left unmodified by the translation process, and 17 bits representing the block number.

In mode 0, no translation is applied. This mode is normally used in WiiU mode and during boot.

In mode 1, the 4 least significant bits of the block number are rotated left by 3 bits.

In mode 2, the 11 least significant bits of the block number are rotated left by 3 bits.

In mode 3, all 17 bits of the block number are rotated left by 3 bits. This mode is normally used in vWii mode.
