// Module: fallthrough_small_fifo.v
// Project: utils
// Description: small fifo with fallthrough i.e. data valid when rd is high
//
// Change history:
//   7/20/07 -- Set nearly full to 2^MAX_DEPTH_BITS - 1 by default so that it
//              goes high a clock cycle early.
//   2/11/09 -- jnaous: Rewrote to make much more efficient.
