New thread with regard of our yesterday's call.

Is it possible to initialize a multiple output MUX?
Yes it is. Let's consider 4 input/2 output MUX and DPLL it connects with:
            +---+   
          --|   |   
  +---+     |   |   
--|   |   --| D |--
  |   |     | P |   
--| M |-----| L |--
  | U |     | L |   
--| X |-----|   |--
  |   |     |   |   
--|   |   --|   |   
  +---+     +---+  
 
Basically dpll pins are initialized and assigned ids, like:
5 inputs (0-4), 3 outputs (5-7).
   +---+   
0--|   |   
   |   |   
1--| D |--5
   | P |   
2--| L |--6
   | L |   
3--|   |--7
   |   |   
4--|   |   
   +---+

Then we would create and register muxed pins with existing dpll pins.
Each muxed pin is allocated and registered with each parent it can provide
signal with, like below (number in bracket is parent idx):
                           +---+   
                        0--|   |   
                +---+      |   |   
 8(2) /  9(3)---|   |   1--| D |--5
                |   |      | P |   
10(2) / 11(3)---| M |---2--| L |--6
                | U |      | L |   
12(2) / 13(3)---| X |---3--|   |--7
                |   |      |   |   
14(2) / 15(3)---|   |   4--|   |   
                +---+      +---+

Controlling the mux input/output:
In this case selecting pin #8 would provide its signal into DPLLs input#2 and
selecting #9 would provide its signal into DPLLs input#3.
