Traps and enables

For a description of the prioritization of any generated exceptions, see section G1.11.2 (Exception priority order) in the ARM® Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv8, for ARMv8-A architecture profile for exceptions taken to AArch32 state, and section D1.13.2 (Synchronous exception prioritization) for exceptions taken to AArch64 state. Subject to the prioritization rules, the following traps and enables are applicable when accessing this register.
