Attribute indirection

The attribute indirection mechanism allows multiple MPU regions to share a set of memory attributes. For example, in the following figure MPU regions 1, 2 and 3 are all assigned to SRAM, so they can share cache-related memory attributes.

The following figure shows an example of attribute indirection:

At the same time, regions 1, 2, and 3 can still have their own access permission, XN, and shareability attributes. This is required as each region can have different uses in the application.
