This extends the register file so it can hold FPR values, and
implements the FP loads and stores that do not require conversion
between single and double precision.
We now have the FP, FE0 and FE1 bits in MSR. FP loads and stores
cause a FP unavailable interrupt if MSR[FP] = 0.
The FPU facilities are optional and their presence is controlled by
the HAS_FPU generic passed down from the top-level board file. It
defaults to true for all except the A7-35 boards.

This imports via fusesoc a 16550 compatible (ie "standard") UART,
and wires it up optionally in the SoC instead of the potato one.
This also adds support for a second UART (which is always a
16550) to Arty, wired to JC "bottom" port.

This makes the ICS support less than the 8 architected bits
and sets the soc to use 3 bits by default.
All the supported bits set translates to "masked" (and will read
back at 0xff), any small value is used as-is.
Linux doesn't use priorities above 5, so this is a way to save
silicon. The number of supported priority bits is exposed to the
OS via the config register.

Make the core go faster
Several major improvements in here:
- Simple branch predictor
- Reduced latency for mispredicted branches and interrupts by removing fetch2 stage
- Cache improvements
o Request critical dword first on refill
o Handle hits while refilling, including on line being refilled
o Sizes doubled for both D and I
- Loadstore improvements: can now do one load or store every two cycles in most cases
- Optimized 2-cycle multiplier for Xilinx 7-series parts using DSP slices
- Timing improvements, including:
o Stash buffer in decode1
o Reduced width of execute1 result mux
o Improved SPR decode in decode1
o Some non-critical operation take a cycle longer so we can break some long combinatorial chains
- Core logging: logs 256 bits of info every cycle into a ring buffer, to help with debugging and performance analysis
This increases the LUT usage for the "synth" + A35 target from 9182 to 10297 = 12%.
This plumbs the LOG_LENGTH parameter (which controls how many entries
the core log RAM has) up to the top level so that it can be set on
the fusesoc command line and have different default values on
different FPGAs.
It now defaults to 512 entries generally and on the Artix-7 35 parts,
and 2048 on the larger Artix-7 FPGAs. It can be set to 0 if desired.

Use a separate process to assign selected interrupts to the

This makes the control bus currently going out of "soc" towards
litedram more generic for external IO devices added by the
top-level rather than inside the SoC proper.
This is mostly renaming of signals and a small change on how the
address decoder operates, using a separate "cascaded" decode for
the external IOs.
We make the region 0xc8nn_nnnn be the "external IO" region for
now.
This will make it easier / cleaner to add more external devices.

Currently, when not using litedram, the top level still has to hook
up "dummy" wishbones to the main dram and control dram busses coming
out of the SoC and provide ack signals.
Instead, make the SoC generate the acks internally when not using
litedram and use defaults to make the wiring entirely optional.

They hurt timing forcing signals to come from the master and back
again in one cycle. Stall isn't sampled by the master unless there
is an active cycle so masking it with cyc is pointless. Masking acks
is somewhat pointless too as we don't handle early dropping of cyc
in any of our slaves properly anyways.

This adds an SPI flash controller which supports direct
memory-mapped access to the flash along with a manual
mode to send commands.
The direct mode can be set via generic to default to single
wire or quad mode. The controller supports normal, dual and quad
accesses with configurable commands, clock divider, dummy clocks
etc...
The SPI clock can be an even divider of sys_clk starting at 2
(so max 50Mhz with our typical Arty designs).
A flash offset is carried via generics to syscon to tell SW about
which portion of the flash is reserved for the FPGA bitfile. There
is currently no plumbing to make the CPU reset past that address (TBD).
Note: Operating at 50Mhz has proven unreliable without adding some
delay to the sampling of the input data. I'm working in improving
this, in the meantime, I'm leaving the default set at 25 Mhz.

This changes the SoC interconnect such that the main 64-bit wishbone out
of the processor is first split between only 3 slaves (BRAM, DRAM and a
general "IO" bus) instead of all the slaves in the SoC.
The IO bus leg is then latched and down-converted to 32 bits data width,
before going through a second address decoder for the various IO devices.
This significantly reduces routing and timing pressure on the main bus,
allowing to get rid of frequent timing violations when synthetizing on
small'ish FPGAs such as the Artix-7 35T found on the original Arty board.

This adds one-cycle latches to the various resets out of the soc and
into the various core modules. It *seems* to help vivado P&R a bit
and has shown to avoid timing violations under some circumstances.
Interestingly those resets never seem to appear in the bad timing
path. It looks like those long resets simply impose placement
constraints that Vivado satisfies at the expense of timing elsewhere.

This adds support for initializing the memory controller from microwatt
rather than using a built-in RiscV processor. This might require some

These provides some info about the SoC (though it's still somewhat

Vivado by default tries to flatten the module hierarchy to improve
placement and timing. However this makes debugging timing issues
really hard as the net names in the timing report can be pretty
bogus.
This adds a generic that can be used to control attributes to stop
vivado from flattening the main core components. The resulting design
will have worst timing overall but it will be easier to understand
what the worst timing path are and address them.

This adds a simple bus that can be mastered from an external
system via JTAG, which will be used to hookup various debug
modules.
It's loosely based on the RiscV model (hence the DMI name).
The module currently only supports hooking up to a Xilinx BSCANE2
but it shouldn't be too hard to adapt it to support different TAPs
if necessary.
The JTAG protocol proper is not exactly the RiscV one at this point,
though I might still change it.
This comes with some sim variants of Xilinx BSCANE2 and BUFG and a
test bench.
