  memory region and checks it at various intervals, including when servicing
  interrupts or context switching.
• x86: enable MMU for application memory
• ARC: added initial MPU support, including stack sentinel checking for ARC configurations not featuring hardware stack bounds checking
• ARC: nested interrupt support for normal, non-FIRQ interrupts

  auto-generated configuration docs), and source code doxygen comments
  (used for API documentation).
• API documentation added for new interfaces and improved for existing
  ones.

• Python packages needed for document generation added to new python
  pip requirements.txt
