 * the hardware directly and not rely on any other (XIP) functions since they
 * won't be available when used (flash not in array mode).
 *
 * xip_irqpending()
 *
 *  return non zero when any hardware interrupt is pending.
 *
 * xip_currtime()
 *
 *  return a platform specific time reference to be used with
 *  xip_elapsed_since().
 *
 * xip_elapsed_since(x)
 *
 *  return in usecs the elapsed timebetween now and the reference x as
 *  returned by xip_currtime().
 *
 *  note 1: conversion to usec can be approximated, as long as the
 *      returned value is <= the real elapsed time.
 *  note 2: this should be able to cope with a few seconds without
 *      overflowing.
 *
 * xip_iprefetch()
 *
 *      Macro to fill instruction prefetch
 *  e.g. a series of nops:  asm volatile (".rep 8; nop; .endr");
