I see that you faithfully replicated one of my screwups ;-)
I shouldn't have included memory under a CPU, but outside of the cpu
data... Sigh... [Not your fault]
This is going to have to wait until release 0.2.0 - it's just a question
of timing. Sorry!
But I do appreciate it!
We should discuss how this really ought to be formatted in general on
the mailing list, then specifically for each of the various CPU types.
But the overall format (like being multi-processor-friendly) should not
change. And my screwup of slamming the memory in with the last CPU
should not be repeated (and should be corrected).
The point of the format is to try and make as much harmony out of the
dissonance out there as we can. And, eventually, the format won't have
to change when people start making multi-socket ARM boards (or
multi-core ARM chips).

I'm not a fan of harsh mailing lists. I know they're really common, but
I don't care for them (they seem childish), and if I screw up and am
harsh without blindingly obvious reasons, feel free to let me know.
