David Lenfesty e850430a8c """Finished""" base RV32I instructions
Still a few base instructions to go, but those are waiting on the
privileged implementation. My game plan:

- implement privileged spec (M-only), adding way to handle traps
- finish implementing last of the base instructions
- add in exceptions that have been ignored in all instructions
- clean up main memory interface, mmaybe add some caching, at least some
  instruction cache.

# runt
A small, underperforming RV32I core, written in nMigen.
I want to get it to the point where I could actually use it in a design, but I doubt it will have
any practical use, especially when compared to a VexRiscV or picorv32 core.
This is my first CPU, and I also somewhat intentionally didn't look at any resources,
so it will likely be full of questionable design decisions that anyone with any experience
would have avoided.
## Milestones
- [ ] Full RV32I implementation, able to run code in simulation (not verified working correctly at
this point)
- [ ] Full coverage with riscv-tests, verified working.
- [ ] Integrated with some hardware to make an """SoC""", running on my Arty A7
- [ ] Full coverage with riscv-formal
- [ ] (Maybe...) work on improving performance, add caching/prefetch, pipeline it, etc.
