Changes in V3:
        - Defined a macro and increased the number of retries for page faults
          to work in system with less memory, mentioning the issue on README.
        - Returned to use volatile on the touch pages routine and a few structs
          on inc/nxu.h as they are handled by hardware and some compilers could
          optmize it wrongly.
        - Moved common functions to gzip_vas.c.
