Hi Luke and Cesar,

I have the (perhaps overly ambitions) intention of formally verifying the
icache.py module by the end of the month. I'm slightly at a loss as to how to
begin the process given how large and complex this module is; I am not sure if
the module should have a proof for each sub-function which then get collected
into a proof of the whole module?

Any help you can provide me in getting started, and almost definitely along the
way as well is immensely appreciated!

Presently, I'm taking inspiration from Cesar's excellent
fu/compunits/formal/proof_fu.py, with detailed comments for each of the N
properties that must hold for the formal verification to pass.
