   Description: In the kernel build mode (where NuttX is built as a monlithic
                kernel and user code must trap into the protected kernel via

+  Title:       KERNEL MODE ISSUES - HANDLERS
+  Description: The is a design flaw in the ARM/Cortex trap handlers.  Currently,
+               they try to process the SYSCALL within the trap handler.  That
+               cannot work.  There are two possibilities to fix this.
+               1) Just enable interrupts in the trap handler and make sure that
+                  that sufficient protection is in place to handler the nested
+                  interrupts, or
+               3) Return from the exception via a trampoline (such as is
+                  currently done for signal handlers).  In the trampoline,
+                  the trap would processed in supervisor mode with interrupts
+                  enabled.
