It seems to me that this implies you are assuming that you will never
ever get a synchronous normal interrupt such as a TLB miss while you
are in a critical or machine check handler.

Wouldn't it be better and safer to have the exception prolog for
critical interrupts save SRR0/1 in the stack frame, and have the
prolog for machine checks save SRR0/1 and CSRR0/1 likewise?
