As I understand John's proposal, he is proposing a C API that is
a kind of TLM support API that would allow building SystemC, i.e.,
C++, modules that present a TLM interface to the SystemC side and
that would provide transport to a SCE-MI 2 transactor on the hardware
side.  So John's proposed API is *not* TLM, but a set of C functions.

So if my understanding is correct, I'd like to request that an
example implementation of a SystemC TLM model be included in John's
proposal.  We could include this in an appendix of the spec.  Would
this be feasible, John?

Thanks,
Per
