Joachim, your idea to have common register layout for similar cores is 
very good. I actually organized control and status registers in my GOST 
hash core the same way, as it was done in your SHA cores. I still cannot 
upload my GOST hash core, because Basil hasn't signed my PGP key yet, 
but that is a different story.

Speaking of core sizes, as far as I remember, we wanted to have 
different segments for different types of cores. All hashes can be in 
one segment and have the same size. ECDSA is a signature core, we can 
place it in a different segment, where all cores will have different 
size and so on.

Joachim, we really need to write down what cores we have right now. Can 
you update that memory map, that I created along with baseline project?
