That is a good question. We have 2 important uses for OCRAM 1) to hold our
power-down/sleep and resume functions and 2) to hold our FPGA contents
during sleep. If either of these is corrupted, it is better to panic than to
load something that would cause incorrect.

In the cases of the FIFOs such as Ethernet and USB, the plan is to add code
to drop the packet so that we'll get a re-transmission. In that case, it is
sort of recoverable.

Much better. Now put that explanation in the code please!

:-)

I'll add that in the next revision. Thanks for reviewing.
