Not really a helpful link...

I still don't understand what the h/w looks like here. At least I now 
understand we're talking a fuse on power rail, not efuses in an SoC 
used as OTP bits or feature disables.

Vout is a supply to the efuse and not the rail being fused? 

Sorry, I know nothing about how an efuse is implemented so you are going 
to have to explain or draw it.

How does one fetch/read? the error flags?
