I'm not sure removing "restore" makes it better. 
fast_exc_return_irq is a relatively specialised case...
I think all these names could be reworked and made a bit
more consistent and descriptive, but for this patch could
you just leave restore in there?

Otherwise it seems okay to me, but I haven't gone through
all the functions involved with trap yet and verified.

Thanks,
Nick
