// Description:    Hardware loop controller unit. This unit is responsible to //
//                 handle hardware loops. Tasks are:                          //
//                 a) compare PC to all stored end addresses                  //
//                 b) jump to the right start address if counter =/ 0         //
//                                                                            //
