Rotating blinkenlights

As everbody knows, no fpga design is worth anything unless can blink your on board LEDs :-)

Now I am a long way still from documenting fully what i have implemented but the current implementation of the cpu is fully functional and is capable of running a small program that lights the leds on the iCEbreaker board in a rotating manner until a key is pressed.

The actual code can be found in blinkenlights.S and when writing the program I noticed that when working with bytes getting a byte into the low order bits of a register almost always requires two instruction: one to clear the register and a second one to actually load an immediate byte value.

Now this is convenient when loading the alu operation into the lower byte of the flags register without clearing the flags but in most other situations I am starting to doubt this implementation decision. That is one thing I want to think about.
