/* The processor saves an EXC_RETURN value to the LR on exception entry. The
 * exception mechanism relies on this value to detect when the processor has
 * completed an exception handler. Bits[31:4] of an EXC_RETURN value are
 * 0xfffffffX. When the processor loads a value matching this pattern to the
 * PC it detects that the operation is a not a normal branch operation and,
 * instead, that the exception is complete. Therefore, it starts the exception
 * return sequence. Bits[3:0] of the EXC_RETURN value indicate the required
 * return stack and processor mode:
 */

/* EXC_RETURN_HANDLER: Return to handler mode. Exception return gets state from
