That's a bit weird, and can be a security risk if state
leaks between security domains through this.
And there's 0 chance any hardware implementation can
keep the translations around across resets - there
is simply nowhere to keep them.

IMHO we need a different way to make this work, simulator
needs to look like a hardware device as much as possible.
