We still had some wires bringing an extra serial port out of
litedram for the built-in riscv processor. This is all gone now
so take them out.

This adds an option to disable the main BRAM and instead copy a
payload stashed along with the init code in the secondary BRAM
into DRAM and boot from there

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.

When using litedram, request a much longer PLL reset. This seems to
help get rid of all the grabled output after config.
Also use the clean system_rst out of litedram as our source of reset
for the rest of the SoC (it is synchronized with system_clk and takes
pll_locked into account already)
In some cases we need to keep the reset held for much longer,
so use counters rather than shift registers.
Additionally, some signals such as ext_rst and pll_locked
or signals going from the ext_clk domain to the pll_clk
domain need to be treated as async, and testing them without
synchronizers is asking for trouble.
Finally, make the external reset also reset the PLL.

Things have changed a bit in upstream LiteX. LiteDRAM now exposes a

The rx synchronizers were ... non existent. Someone forgot to add
a if rising_edge(clk) to the process.
For tx, ensure that we have a default value so that TX stays high
from TPGA configuration to the reset being sampled on the first clock
cycle.

The pp_fifo decides whether top = bottom means empty or full based
on whether the previous operation was a push or a pop.
If the fifo performs both in one cycle, it sets the previous op to
pop. That means that a full fifo being added a character and removed
one at the same time becomes empty.
Instead, just leave the previous op alone. If the fifo was empty, it
remains so, if it was full ditto.

This uses the new header files for register definitions and

These provides some info about the SoC (though it's still somewhat
incomplete and needs more work, see comments).
There's also a control register for selecting DRAM vs. BRAM at 0
(and for soft-resetting the SoC but that isn't wired up yet).

Micropython has been able to fit into 384kB for ages, so lets reduce our
simulated RAM. This is useful for testing if micropython will run on an
ECP5 85k, which has enough BRAM for 384kB but not enough for 512kB.

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.

The shared variable used for FIFO memory is not VHDL 2008 compliant.
I can't see why it needs to be a shared variable since reads and writes
update top and bottom synchronously, meaning they don't need same cycle
access to the FIFO memory.

The memory wishbone doesn't clear ACK and move the state machine on
until STB is de-asserted. This seems like it isn't compliant with
the spec and results in a maximum throughput of 1 transfer every
3 cycles.
Fixing this improves the situation to one transfer every 2 cycles.

This will be useful when we start needing different toplevels for
different boards.
We keep the reset and clock generators in the toplevel as they will
eventually be taken over by litedram when we integrate it, and they
are more likely to change on different system types.

The old reset code was overly complicated and never worked properly.
Replace it with a simpler sequence that uses a couple of shift registers
to assert resets:
- Wait a number of external clock cycles before removing reset from
the PLL.
- After the PLL locks and the external reset button isn't pressed,
wait a number of PLL clock cycles before removing reset from the SOC.

Mikey points out that our stack grows down from 512kB and our
heap is below that too, so we can reduce our BRAM requirements,
which allowing some smaller FPGA boards to work. Not sure why
I thought we were using memory between 512kB and 1MB.

Add a temporary gcc patch to remove hardware divide instructions.
Also add a firmware.hex file built with a gcc with the above patch.
Right now micropython assumes 1MB of BRAM, which limits the FPGAs
we can run on. We should be able to cut it down somewhat.
