+ * The exception table consists of pairs of relative addresses: the first is
+ * the address of an instruction that is allowed to fault, and the second is
+ * the address at which the program should continue. No registers are
+ * modified, so it is entirely up to the continuation code to figure out what
+ * to do.
+ *
+ * All the routines below use bits of fixup code that are out of line with the
+ * main instruction path. This means when everything is well, we don't even
+ * have to jump over them. Further, they do not intrude on our cache or tlb
+ * entries.
