/** @defgroup nvm Cortex-M3 Non-Volatile Memory data storage system.
 *
 * This header defines the API for NVM data storage.  This header also
 * describes the algorithm behind the NVM data storage system with notes
 * on algorithm behavior.
 *
 * See hal/micro/cortexm3/nvm.h for source code.
 *
 * @note The algorithm description uses "page" to indicate an area of memory
 *       that is a multiple of physical flash pages.  There are two pages: LEFT
 *       and RIGHT.  The term "flash page" is used to refer to a page of
 *       physical flash.
 *
 * NVM data storage works by alternating between two pages: LEFT and RIGHT.
 * The basic algorithm is driven by a call to halCommonSaveToNvm().  It will:
 * - erase the inactive page
 * - write the new data to the inactive page
 * - copy existing data from the active page to the inactive page
 * - mark the inactive page as the new active page
 * - mark the old active page as the new inactive page
 * To accomplish alternating between two pages and knowing which page has the
 * valid set of data, the algorithm uses 4 bytes of mgmt data that exists
 * at the top of both LEFT and RIGHT (the term "mgmt" is shorthand referring to
 * the management data).  The management data is comprised of a Valid marker,
 * an Active marker, a Dead marker, and a Spare byte.  Viewing the
 * management data as a single 32 bit quantity yields:
 * - Valid is mgmt[0]
 * - Active is mgmt[1]
 * - Dead is mgmt[2]
 * - Spare is mgmt[3]
 * The algorithm is based on a simple, circular state machine.  The following
 * discussion details all of the possible mgmt bytes and the states they
 * correspond to.  The "Reads from" line indicates which page a call to
 * halCommonReadFromNvm() will read from (an 'x' page will stuff the read
 * data with 0xFF).  The vertical "erase" and "write" words indicate the
 * flash altering actions taken between those states.  Invalid mgmt bytes
 * is equivalent to erased mgmt bytes (state 0) and will trigger an
 * erase of both LEFT and RIGHT.  State 3 and state 7 are the only exit
 * states.  When the algorithm is run, regardless of starting state, it
 * will advance to the next exit state.  This means if the "Read from"
 * is LEFT then the state machine will advance until state 7 and then exit.
 * If "Read from" is RIGHT, then the state machine will advance until
 * state 3 and then exit.
 *
 * @code
 * Starting from erased or invalid mgmt, write to LEFT
 * State #       0     0         1      2      3
 * Reads from:   x     x   e w   L      L      L
 * Valid       xx|xx FF|FF r r 00|FF  00|FF  00|00
 * Active      xx|xx FF|FF a i 00|FF  00|FF  00|00
 * Dead        xx|xx FF|FF s t FF|FF  FF|00  FF|00
 * Spare       xx|xx FF|FF e e FF|FF  FF|FF  FF|FF
 *
 *
 * Starting from LEFT page, transition to RIGHT page:
 * State #      3       4       5      6      7
 * Reads from:  L   e   L   w   R      R      R
 * Valid      00|00 r 00|FF r 00|00  00|00  00|00
 * Active     00|00 a 00|FF i 00|FF  00|FF  00|00
 * Dead       FF|00 s FF|FF t FF|FF  00|FF  00|FF
 * Spare      FF|FF e FF|FF e FF|FF  FF|FF  FF|FF
 *
 *
 * Starting from RIGHT page, transition to LEFT page:
 * State #      7       8       9     10      3
 * Reads from:  R   e   R   w   L      L      L
 * Valid      00|00 r FF|00 r 00|00  00|00  00|00
 * Active     00|00 a FF|00 i FF|00  FF|00  00|00
 * Dead       00|FF s FF|FF t FF|FF  FF|00  FF|00
 * Spare      FF|FF e FF|FF e FF|FF  FF|FF  FF|FF
 * @endcode
 *
 * Based on the 10 possible states, there are 5 valid 32bit mgmt words:
 * - 0xFFFFFFFF
 * - 0xFFFFFF00
 * - 0xFFFF0000
 * - 0xFF000000
 * - 0xFF00FFFF
 * The algorithm determines the current state by using these 5 mgmt words
 * with the 10 possible combinations of LEFT mgmt and RIGHT mgmt.
 *
 * Detailed State Description:
 * - State 0:
 *   In this state the mgmt bytes do not conform to any of the other states
 *   and therefore the entire NVM system, both the LEFT and RIGHT, is
 *   invalid.  Invalid could be as simple as both LEFT and RIGHT are erased
 *   or as complex as serious memory corruption or a bug caused bad data to
 *   be written to the NVM.  By using a small set of very strict, precise,
 *   valid states (versus other management systems such as a simple counter),
 *   the algorithm/data gains some protection against not only corruption, but
 *   also executing the NVM algorithm on a chip that previously did not
 *   have the NVM system running on it.
 * - State 1, 4, 8
 *   In these states, mgmt is saying that one page is valid and active, while
 *   the other page is erased.  This tells the algorithm which page to read
 *   from and indicates that the other page has already been erased.
 * - State 2
 *   This state is only necessary for transitioning from state 0.  From state
 *   0, the goal is to arrive at state 3.  Ideally, the RIGHT mgmt would
 *   be written with 0xFF000000, but the flash library only permits 16 bit
 *   writes.  If a reset were to occur in the middle of this section of the
 *   algorithm, we want to ensure that the mgmt is left in a known state,
 *   state 2, so that the algorithm could continue from where it got
 *   interrupted.
 * - State 5, 9
 *   These states indicate that the other page has just become valid because
 *   the new data has just been written.  Once at these states, reading
 *   from the NVM will now pull data from the other page.
 * - State 6, 10
 *   These states indicate that the old page is now dead and not in use.
 *   While the algorithm already knows to read from the new page, the Dead
 *   mgmt byte is primarily used to indicate that the other page needs to
 *   be erased.  Conceptually, the Dead byte can also be considered a type
 *   of "garbage collection" flag indicating the old page needs to be
 *   destroyed and has not yet been erased.
 * - State 3, 7
 *   These states are the final exit points of the circular state machine.
 *   Once at these states, the current page is marked Valid and Active and
 *   the old page is marked as Dead.  The algorithm knows which page to
 *   read from and which page needs to be erased on the next write to the NVM.
 *
 *
 * Notes on algorithm behavior:
 * - Refer to nvm-def.h for a list of offset/length that define the data
 *   stored in NVM storage space.
 * - All writes to flash are 16bit granularity and therefore the internal
 *   flash writes cast the data to uint16_t.  Length is also required to be
 *   a multiple of 16bits.
 * - Flash page erase uses a granularity of a single flash page.  The size
 *   of a flash page depends on the chip and is defined in memmap.h with
 *   the define MFB_PAGE_SIZE_B.
 * - Erasing will only occur when halCommonSaveToNvm() is called.
 * - Erasing will always occur when halCommonSaveToNvm() is called unless the
 *   page intended to be erased is already entirely 0xFFFF.
 * - When reading and management is invalid, the read will return 0xFF for data.
 * - Calling halCommonSaveToNvm() while in any state is always valid and the
 *   new data will be written to flash.
 * - halCommonSaveToNvm() will always advance the state machine to 3 or 7.
 * - When writing and management is invalid, both LEFT and RIGHT will be erased
 *   and the new data will be written to LEFT.
 * - Writing causes the new data being passed into halCommonSaveToNvm() to be
 *   written to flash.  The data already existing in the currently valid page
 *   will be copied over to the new page.
 * - Reading or writing to an offset equal to or greater than NVM_DATA_SIZE_B is
 *   illegal and will cause an assert.
 * - Offset and length must always be multiples of 16bits.  If not, both a read
 *   and a write will trigger an assert.
 * - Offset and length must be supplied in bytes.
 * - All data in NVM storage must exist above the mgmt bytes, denoted by
 *   NVM_MGMT_SIZE_B.
 * - The bottom 64 bytes of NVM storage are allocated to radio calibration
 *   values.  These 64 bytes *must* exist for the radio to function.
 * - There is no error checking beyond checking for 16bit alignment.  This
 *   means it is possible to use data offset and size combinations that
 *   exceed NVM storage space or overlap with other data.  Be careful!
