Stewart Miles 84d35492b1 Described restrictions for common HAL object methods.
Inheritance of HAL object is performed by composing a child structure of a
single parent structure located at offset 0 followed by new data members
and function pointers in the child structure.

For example,

struct child {
  struct parent common;
  int a_data_member;
  void (*a_method)(struct child *c, int v);
};

HAL code assumes this layout when accessing child structures given a pointer
to a parent structure such that users write code like the following...

void child_method(struct *parent, int v) {
  struct child * c = (struct child*)parent;
  // do stuff with c
}

Code above will break if a member is added before "common" in "struct child".

This change adds comments that describe the restriction on the location of
parent HAL objects within a derived HAL object.  HAL objects that already
have comments that describe the required location of parent objects are not
modified.
