Regarding MKM and tamper. I've almost done with the RTL design for a
first, very limited mkmif module. The current version will only support
reading and writing 32-bit words to the specific Microchip memory.
(including mem init and mem command handlingt). I've got 10 chips of the
specific type from Mouser and are modifying one of the old entropy
boards to connect it to the Novena.

When this works we can add tamoer-zeroisation functionality etc. But for
the bring up we should at least have something to test the MKM
functionality from the FPGA with.
