"""simple core

not in any way intended for production use.  connects up FunctionUnits to
Register Files in a brain-dead fashion that only permits one and only one
Function Unit to be operational.

the principle here is to take the Function Units, analyse their regspecs,
and turn their requirements for access to register file read/write ports
into groupings by Register File and Register File Port name.

under each grouping - by regfile/port - a list of Function Units that
need to connect to that port is created.  as these are a contended
resource a "Broadcast Bus" per read/write port is then also created,
with access to it managed by a PriorityPicker.

the brain-dead part of this module is that even though there is no
conflict of access, regfile read/write hazards are *not* analysed,
and consequently it is safer to wait for the Function Unit to complete
before allowing a new instruction to proceed.
