Tables 6, 7, and associated text should be updated in the Epiphany architecture reference for the ABI changes.

Comment: Looks like it is necessary to remove "_" in assembly global function names... (when mixing asm and C)
After that it works...

I could see some differences transfer in times, but still testing...

Edit: Yep, it goes faster . By now just a small gain "out of the box", but I saw some real evidence that the new e-link is there.

-ARM initiated transfers are are software bound, nothing to do with the elink
-As you can see the ERAM read speed increased by 2X (that's signifiacant!)
-If you run the matmul example, you can see a significant wall time speed up.

We'll look into the ARM-->ERAM read/write speed (has noting to do with elink, but agree that slow down is not good)
