after doing some preliminary checks we also have a block on the reg
allocation task for a TRAP pipeline.

i think what i will do is, morph CompALUUnit to use a Record.

Cesar, CompLDSTUnit also will need converting to use a Record.

this because when grouping the CompUnits together it is a lot easier to do
so using arrays of Records.

however if i do CompALU first you will get an idea of what it will look
like and so are not surprised by code changes.

i will create "dummy" variables in the classes so that it does not require
massive code changes.
