Description

The alert handler documentation mentions

The cause bits of all alerts are concatenated and chunked into 32bit words.

However, that is not true. The alert_cause (and loc_alert_cause) multiregs have compact: "false" and we generate a 1-bit register for each alert.
Is this intentional? In case of alerts the software would have to issue 32x more reads compared to if it was compact.
Either way it's a discrepancy between implementation and documentation and we should fix one of them.
