+=========================================================================

|
|
|
+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.
