(** We need to show that, in the simulation diagram, we cannot
  take infinitely many Mach transitions that correspond to zero
  transitions on the PPC side.  Actually, all Mach transitions
  correspond to at least one PPC transition, except the
  transition from [Machsem.Returnstate] to [Machsem.State].
  So, the following integer measure will suffice to rule out
  the unwanted behaviour. *)

Definition measure (s: Mach.state) : nat :=
  match s with
  | Mach.State _ _ _ _ _ _ => 0%nat
  | Mach.Callstate _ _ _ _ => 0%nat
  | Mach.Returnstate _ _ _ => 1%nat
