stored in this register as the packet number
parameter. This register is cleared by a RESET
or a RESET MMU Command.

FAILED A zero indicates a successful allocation
completion. If the allocation fails the bit is set
and only cleared when the pending allocation is
satisfied. Defaults high upon reset and reset
MMU command. For polling purposes, the
ALLOC_INT in the Interrupt Status Register
should be used because it is synchronized to the
read operation. Sequence:
ALLOCATED PACKET NUMBER
Packet
number associated with the last memory
allocation request. The value is only valid if the
FAILED bit is clear.
Note: For software compatibility with future
versions, the value read from the ARR after an
allocation request is intended to be written into
the PNR as is, without masking higher bits
(provided FAILED = 0).
