I'm afraid that I've been distracted on other fronts, so I haven't made
progress there.

If you'd be happy to look at the cleanup I previously suggested for the
core, that would be great. When I last looked, it was simple to rework
things so that arch code doesn't have to define MCOUNT_ADDR, but I
hadn't figured out exactly how to split the core mcount assumptions from
the important state machine bits.

I'll take another look and see if I can provide more detail. :)

Thanks,
Mark.
