Comment (by sra):

 Apparently modexp bignums kick us into using a different kind of FPGA
 memory than plain old registers due to how many plain old registers
 bignums would chew up, and the consequences of this are causing all sorts
 of entertainment getting bignums in and out of the modexp core once we
 move out of simulation and onto real hardware.  Joachim is peddling as
 fast as he can, and for a brief shining moment thought he'd managed to
 calculate `(3 ** 7) % 11` on real hardware using the latest interface, but
 I have not been able to reproduce his result.  Peddling continues.
