Any platform with HiFi DSP.

As I explained in the previous version, until now, it was used in a 
limited scenario and the firmware was correctly built to respect the 
write restriction - having the IRAM sections size a multiple of 4bytes.

Now, I was trying a simple hello_world sample from Zephyr, compiled with 
GCC and I crashed the Kernel trying to load it on the hifi4 DSP.

Thanks,
