In consideration of masking other causes after an EIT cause is accepted, the handlers of EIT causes that
occur at the same time are executed in the order shown in Table 3.7-5 .

*1: Other causes are abandoned.
*2: If the INTE instruction is executed in steps, only a step trace trap EIT occurs. An INTE cause is
ignored.
Figure 3.7-2 shows an example of multiple EIT processing.
