Standard Interrupt

It is assumed that:

When NIRQ is asserted, if the bit I of CPSR is 0, the sequence is:
1. The CPSR is stored in SPSR_irq, the current value of the Program Counter is
2. The ARM core enters IRQ Mode, if it is not already.
3. When the instruction loaded at address 0x18 is executed, the Program Counter

5. Further interrupts can then be unmasked by clearing the I bit in the CPSR, allow-
