+/* Introduction:
+
+ The core device, positioned at the top of the device tree that
+ models the architecure being simulated, acts as an interface
+ between the processor engines and the modeled devices.
+
+ On the one side the processor engines issue read and write requests
+ to the core (each request further catagorised as being for an
+ instruction or data subunit) while on the other side, the core is
+ receiving address configuration and DMA requests from child
+ devices.
+
+ In the below a synopsis of the core object and device in PSIM is
+ given, details of the object can be found in the files
+ <<corefile.h>> and <<corefile.c>>.
+
+ */
+
+/* Core::
+
+ At the heart of the interface between devices and processor engines
+ is a single core object. This object, in turn, has two children:
+
+ o a core device which exists in the device tree and provides
+ an interface to the core object to child devices.
+
+ o a set of access maps which provide an efficient
+ interface to the core object for the processor engines.

+/* Core map management:::
+
+ The core ojbect manages two different types of address maps:
+
+ o raw-memory - the address range can be implemented using
+ a simple byte array. No device needs to be notifed of
+ any accesses to the specified memory range.
+
+ o callback - Any access to the specified address range
+ should be passed on to the associated device. That device
+ can in turn resolve the access - handling or aborting or
+ restarting it.
+
+ For callback maps it is possible to further order them by
+ specifiying specifying a callback level (eg callback + 1).
+
+ When the core is resolving an access it searches each of the maps
+ in order. First raw-memory and then callback maps (in assending
+ order of level). This search order makes it possible for latter
+ maps to overlap earlier ones. For instance, a device that wants to
+ be notified of all accesses that are not covered by raw-memory maps
+ could attach its self with an address range of the entire address
+ space.
+
+ In addition, each attached address map as an associated set of
+ access attributes (readable, writeable, executable) which are
+ verified as part of resolving each access.

+

+
+ The operation of mapping between an address and its destination
+ device or memory array is currently implemented using a simple
+ linked list. The posibility of replacing this list with a more
