Sorry for the x-post all, but the "read-only", hardware-modifiable
attribute is quite simple in C: it would have both the 'const'
and 'volatile' attributes. Thus, programmer could not change it,
but the hardware can always alter the storage.
For example,
const volatile int foo;
Just to show that Ada does not rule the world (yet).
