[f-cpu] F-CPU SoC

[Nikolay Dimitrov <picmaster@xxxxxxx>]

Gang,

It quite possible that we'll have all kinds of technical discussions
about different approaches towards the F-CPU design and implementation.
I think it would definitely help if we put some more context into these
discussions, as a single aspect of the CPU ISA can both be advantage and
disadvantage in different contexts.

So I'm proposing for the following - let's think about how a F-CPU-based
SoC should look like. I'm totally convinced that a single design won't
be able to answer all needs, so probably the most logical approach is to
define several different SoC types and then discuss each F-CPU feature
and how it can fits into each specific context.

In addition to the SoC topic - I personally think that a CPU design is
less and less important only by itself, and there are tons of other
blocks that need to orchestrate perfectly with the CPU in order to
achieve a usable performance out of the system. So would be great if we
consider touching the SoC topic sooner than later.

Regards,
Nikolay
