Description
Software must not rely on the value of a reserved. Writing any other
value than the reset value may result in undefined behavior.
Current interrupt overhead counter value. Counts the total cycles
spent in interrupt processing (for example entry stacking, return
unstacking, pre-emption). An event is emitted on counter overflow
(every 256 cycles). This counter initializes to 0 when it is enabled
using CTRL.EXCEVTENA.
