We now have a record that represents the actions taken in executing an
instruction, and a process that computes that for the incoming
instruction. We no longer have 'current' or 'r.cur_instr', instead
things like the destination register are put into r.e in the first
cycle of an instruction and not reinitialized in subsequent busy
cycles.
For mfspr and mtspr, we now decode "slow" SPR numbers (those SPRs that
are not stored in the register file) to a new "spr_selector" record
in decode1 (excluding those in the loadstore unit). With this, the
result for mfspr is determined in the data path.

Besides the overflow and status carry bits, XER has 18 bits which need
to retain the value written by mtxer (in case software wants to
emulate the move-assist instructions (lswi, lswx, stswi, stswx).
Until now these bits (and others) have been stored in the GPR file as
a "fast" SPR, but this causes complications because XER is not really
a fast SPR.
Instead, we now store these 18 bits in the 'ctrl' signal, which exists
in execute1. This will enable us to simplify the data path in future,
and has the added bonus that with a little bit of plumbing, we can get
the full XER value printed when dumping registers at the end of a
simulation.
Therefore this changes scripts/run_test.sh to remove the greps which
exclude XER from the comparison of actual and expected register
results.

This adds "if LOG_LENGTH > 0 generate" to the places in the core
where log output data is latched, so that when LOG_LENGTH = 0 we
don't create the logic to collect the data which won't be stored.

This logs 256 bits of data per cycle to a ring buffer in BRAM. The
data collected can be read out through 2 new SPRs or through the
debug interface.
The new SPRs are LOG_ADDR (724) and LOG_DATA (725). LOG_ADDR contains
the buffer write pointer in the upper 32 bits (in units of entries,
i.e. 32 bytes) and the read pointer in the lower 32 bits (in units of
doublewords, i.e. 8 bytes). Reading LOG_DATA gives the doubleword
from the buffer at the read pointer and increments the read pointer.
Setting bit 31 of LOG_ADDR inhibits the trace log system from writing
to the log buffer, so the contents are stable and can be read.
There are two new debug addresses which function similarly to the
LOG_ADDR and LOG_DATA SPRs. The log is frozen while either or both of
the LOG_ADDR SPR bit 31 or the debug LOG_ADDR register bit 31 are set.
The buffer defaults to 2048 entries, i.e. 64kB. The size is set by
the LOG_LENGTH generic on the core_debug module. Software can
determine the length of the buffer because the length is ORed into the
buffer write pointer in the upper 32 bits of LOG_ADDR. Hence the
length of the buffer can be calculated as 1 << (31 - clz(LOG_ADDR)).
There is a program to format the log entries in a somewhat readable
fashion in scripts/fmt_log/fmt_log.c. The log_entry struct in that
file describes the layout of the bits in the log entries.

Right now our test cases fold the SPRs into the GPRs. That makes
debugging fails more difficult than it needs to be, so print
out the CTR, LR and CR.
We still need to print the XER, but that is in two spots in microwatt
and will take some more work.
This also adds many instructions to the tests that we have added
lately including overflow instructions, CR logicals and mt/mfxer.

The carry is currently internal to execute1. We don't handle any of
the other XER fields.
This creates type called "xer_common_t" that contains the commonly
used XER bits (CA, CA32, SO, OV, OV32).
The value is stored in the CR file (though it could be a separate
module). The rest of the bits will be implemented as a separate
SPR and the two parts reconciled in mfspr/mtspr in latter commits.
We always read XER in decode2 (there is little point not to)
and send it down all pipeline branches as it will be needed in
writeback for all type of instructions when CR0:SO needs to be
updated (such forms exist for all pipeline branches even if we don't
yet implement them).
To avoid having to track XER hazards, we forward it back in EX1. This
assumes that other pipeline branches that can modify it (mult and div)
are running single issue for now.
One additional hazard to beware of is an XER:SO modifying instruction
in EX1 followed immediately by a store conditional. Due to our writeback
latency, the store will go down the LSU with the previous XER value,
thus the stcx. will set CR0:SO using an obsolete SO value.
I doubt there exist any code relying on this behaviour being correct
but we should account for it regardless, possibly by ensuring that
stcx. remain single issue initially, or later by adding some minimal
tracking or moving the LSU into the same pipeline as execute.
Missing some obscure XER affecting instructions like addex or mcrxrx.

We weren't actually forwarding writes in the same cycle. Not a

Handle the CR as a single field with per nibble enables. Forward any
writes in the same cycle.
If this proves to be an issue for timing, we may want to revisit
this in the future. For now, it keeps things simple.
