i since realised that the DMI interface serves this purpose, and
investigated core_debug.vhdl

with a little bit (or a lot) of futzing about with a FSM i should be able
to run a single instruction then cycle through all of the GPRs, PC and MSR,
dumping them out.

by implementing the same interface in libresoc i can do a cycle by cycle
comparison and find the discrepancies.

it would be particularly useful to be able to get at the SPRs and the CR as
well, this way.

is there a standard for DMI address bus locations?
