Interrupt modes
FIQ mode has seven banked registers mapped to r8-14 (r8_fiq-r14_fiq). In ARM state, many
FIQ handlers can use these banked registers to avoid having to save any registers onto a stack.
User, IRQ, Supervisor, Abort, and Undefined modes each have two banked registers, mapped
to r13 and r14, enabling each of these modes to have a private stack pointer and link registers.
