Shadow Registers used by interruption handler code
|

TOC enable bit 1

=========================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
The PA-RISC architecture defines 7 registers as "shadow registers".
|
||||
Those are used in RETURN FROM INTERRUPTION AND RESTORE instruction to reduce
|
||||
the state save and restore time by eliminating the need for general register
|
||||
(GR) saves and restores in interruption handlers.
|
||||
Shadow registers are the GRs 1, 8, 9, 16, 17, 24, and 25.

||||
Register usage notes, originally from John Marvin, with some additional
|
||||
notes from Randolph Chung.
