77 Added new a23 source files to sim and synthesis source lists. csantifort 4050d 17h /
76 Split the spec document into a processor core spec, and a user guide. csantifort 4050d 17h /

74 The patch implements barrel shifter using rotate as a main primitive.
The design was optimized for Altera Cyclone III FPGA and can be reused
with other FPGA vendors and products.
The patch integrates the FPGA-optimized barrel shifter into the
Amber 23 core when it is build for Altera FPGA.

The patch reduces footprint from 1178 to 339 LEs keeping Fmax at 57-60 MHz.

73 The patch introduces a new configuration option `A23_RAM_REGISTER_BANK,
which controls instantiation of Amber 23 register bank.
If the option is set, a ram-based variant of the register bank is instantiated.
It can be useful in low-end FPGA designs, where flipflops and muxes are costly.

Altera Cyclone III resource utilization:
- flipflop-based register bank: 1583 combinationals + 856 registers
- ram-based register bank: 268 combinationals + 156 registers

72 5 bit "OH_USR" constant was used when 2 bit "USR" should be used.
Both of the constants are 0.
The fault was introduced by ram-based register bank commit.

71 Original Amber 23 core uses asyncronous implementation of register bank.
It leads to some problems with ram-based implementation of the register bank,
because at least Altera FPGAs uses syncronous ram blocks, so the whole address
needs to be latched.

The patch exposes non-registered versions of register select signals to the
register bank, so the bank can build address and latch it in the syncronous
ram input register.

The patch is a pre-requisite for ram-based register bank implementation on Altera FPGA.

70 The mlas_bug testcase tried to use stack without setting stack pointer
register, causing unpredictable behavoiur.
The patch uses an expilict stack area for the test.
