Register parameters

CALL $0057
IN: 
    C = memory segment specifier (MS_S0, MS_S1, MS_S2 & MS_S3)

OUT, always successful: 
    B = bank bound in segment

Registers changed after return: 
    AF.CDEHL/IXIY same
    ..B...../.... different 

Notes

New API call introduced in and used by OZ V4.1 and newer for fastest bank switching functionality possible.

Get current Bank binding for specified segment MS_Sx, defined in C. This is the functional equivalent of OS_Mgb and the OS_Fc, but much faster, since there is no system call decoding overhead. The routine resides in LOWRAM.
