*
*
* NOTE: Currently the Angel source is designed to be simple,
* understandable and easy to port to new hardware platforms. However,
* this does not always yield the highest performing system. The
* current layered approach introduces an overhead to the performance
* of the system. In a true commercial target, this code should be
* re-designed to build a system where the Angel logical message
* system, device driver and hardware accesses are merged to provide
* the best performance.

/* Angel overview:
... some comments describing Angel ...
* Angel is designed as a kit-of-parts that can be used to provide
* run-time support for the development of ARM applications. The main
* core of Angel is in providing support for the "debug" message
* communication with a host system. These messages do not just cover
* debugging ARM processes, but also the process of downloading ARM
* programs or attaching to executing processes on the target.
*
* A stand-alone ROM based Angel world is the basic starting point for
* a system, since it will allow programs to be downloaded to the
* target. The ROM version of Angel will provide the generic debug
* support, but no system specific routines. The preferred method of
* using Angel is as a link library. This ensures that applications
* carry with them the Angel routines necessary to support debugging
* (and also ensure that the Angel version is up-to-date, independant
* of the version in the target ROM). Eventually, once a program has
* been fully debugged, a ROMmed version of the program can be
* generated with the Angel code being provided in the application.
.. more comments ..
* The standard Angel routines do *NOT* perform any dynamic memory
* allocation. To simplify the source, and aid the porting to a non C
* library world, memory is either pre-allocated (as build-time
* globals) or actually given to the particular Angel routine by the
* active run-time. This ensures that the interaction between Angel
* and the target O/S is minimised.
*
* Notes: We sub-include more header files to keep the source
* modular. Since Angel is a kit-of-parts alternative systems may need
* to change the prototypes of particular functions, whilst
* maintaining a fixed external interface. e.g. using the standard
* DEBUG messages, but with a different communications world.
