tasks:
https://bugs.libre-soc.org/showdependencytree.cgi?maxdepth=1&id=383&hide_resolved=1

yesterday:

* big addition of bigendian flag throughout code (qemu, ISACaller, tests)
* started running helloworld.bin again

today:

* fixed simple bug in PowerDecoder2, OP_B was not setting LR register write
* added LD/ST cacheing-inhibit instructions

so that's enough to get helloworld "operational" as far as running
without a UART peripheral is concerned.  the next stage will be to
drop a UART peripheral (simulated or otherwise) onto the memory bus.
these are what the ld/st cache-inhibit instructions are supposed to be
used for, to access the peripheral at address 0xc0000000.

today:
found the root cause and created a fix for nmigen's zeros in vcd issue

Finished off the pull request for adding string-typed vcd variables
and for outputting values as strings instead of u64 values:

I also just proposed adding a API to nmigen to output VCD events. You
can think of them as the VCD file having certain times marked. I think
they would be useful for unit tests since we could output them to the
VCD file when we read all the variables in a unit test.

so... this is like... debug log notifications?  (which are missing
from nmigen, and it's quite a nuisance).

kinda -- they show up as signals in gtkwave

that's good.  it's close enough.  what would be better (if it's at all
possible):  yield ev1("some additional debug info %d" %
some_runtime_variable)  although just the event (at all) would be
extremely useful.

except without nmigen support it's moot.
