imho simple renaming rtas_st to stl_be_phys_real (and so on for other 
rtas_xx) would make more sense as rtas_st&co do not have to do anything 
with RTAS itself, it is all about realmode guest memory accessб RTAS just 
happened to be the first client of it.

btw in st_cc_buf(), what does "cc" stand for?
