Description
- [ ] All a `hwext` register to be defined as an external constant without a known reset value. These types should then be automatically excluded from init checks
- [ ] Consider defining exclusions to be block level, top level or both and automatically generate the correct attributes in ralgen.

Research direction
Start by inspecting regtool's handling of external constants, reset values, and init checks, then trace how ralgen receives block- and top-level exclusion information. Done means hwext constants without known reset values are excluded from init checks and exclusions at either scope generate the correct ralgen attributes.
