All the generic core details are =20 > in there. Core details, sort of. Perhaps I'm looking for the non-core details. For example, the PRM describes "up to 8 non-maskable traps", but =20 individual chips seem to implement only a subset of that number. Are =20 all 8 types of trap "defined" (but not all implemented on some chips), =20 or is 8 a convenient power of two that they haven't decided how to =20 fully utilize yet?
