"Embedded" and "internal" have very similar meanings in English so it's pretty confusing for them to mean opposite things in CHERI. Fortunately there was only one reference to "embedded" so it's easy enough to remove it.

@Timmmm : Thanks for the change. I agree with you. However, it looks like another PR was recently merged that also used the word embedded. Could you please rebase and fix that one as well? https://github.com/riscv/riscv-cheri/pull/22/files#diff-2ac200119dffa8d1c8c860fa8f9d6614dc07cf4563a3cc1820cceb25152a12fbR506

(and that one uses "embedded" to mean "internal" rather than the opposite!)

Np. Tbh I think "embedded" is a more appropriate word which is probably why it was used there by mistake! Could change it... though maybe not worth the effort.

"Internal" is the word that was used in the original CHERI spec, so it would be best to keep it for now to avoid confusion.
