Another thing about the PacDigi core: one has to be very careful

So for any group of sequentially laid out registers, the code has
to ensure it never writes two adjacent registers in sequence..
Ugh ? Write combining isn't permitted on normal registers afaik...
Ben.
Byte merging can be done by the chipset on MMIO writes (merging multiple
8 or 16-bit writes into a single 32-bit cycle).
