This PR adds a data cache to the processor - finally 😅
Right now, it provides external generics to configure the number of blocks and the actual block size. The cache is direct-mapped and uses the "write-through" strategy for memory-cache synchronization. Accesses to addresses
0xF0000000
..0xFFFFFFFF
are always uncached (for memory-mapped IO).The cache is operational but still quite experimental. Feedback is highly welcome 😉
