This was apparent in Dragon Ball Z - Legacy of Goku II, where the save
point sprites were not rendered at all.

The symptom of the problem was in the form of a rythmic click sound popping in the left channel.
Diving deep into Kirby's binary, I found out that channel B and channel
A are playing too different pcm buffers simultationsly: A is enabled for
the right channel and B is enabled for the left.
I found out that the game's sound driver was using VCOUNT in order to syncornize the audio,
but in some occassions the fifo DMA was not disabled in time, causing the DMA to
fill the fifo in additional 16 bytes of garbage residing next to channel
B's pcmBuffer.
After a thorough check-up of the GPU state machine, I find out that I
stay in VBLANK for 1 line too long, and that's what caused the audio
buffer to de-sync with the gpu emulation.
This commit fixes this issue.

This commit removed the dummy iomem buffer, and the bios busy waits on
REG_SOUNDBIAS in order to proceed.

- Bad LSR emulation caused an edge-case making allmost all of the game I tested fail to boot past intro.
- Incorrect sign extension of offset5 in THUMB caused bad address calculation.
Kirby boots with rendering glitches, I played past the first 2 boses
without crashes.

According to GBATEK:
The SAD, DAD, and CNT_L registers are holding the initial start
addresses, and initial length. The hardware does NOT change the content
of these registers during or after the transfer.
The actual transfer takes place by using internal pointer/counter
registers. The initial values are copied into internal regs under the
following circumstances:
Upon DMA Enable (Bit 15) changing from 0 to 1: Reloads SAD, DAD, CNT_L.
Upon Repeat: Reloads CNT_L, and optionally DAD (Increment+Reload).

- Add tracing of opcodes and potentially more stuff
- Add option to run a script file at the beginnig (I use it to redirect
traces to a file)
- Support breakpoints again

This fixes the glitch in dma_demo.gba where the rendering of the circle
was off by a scanline.
