Remove the double negative here. ie

"This skips when coming from the OS". or "Only happens when coming from PR"

So we are talking about tm_recheckpoint on exit? On exit, we do:
   tm_recheckpoint -> irq_replay -> rfid?

Why not swap the order of the recheckpoint and the replay to avoid this problem?

Move double negatives... Try: "if coming from the OS, skip" or "only do it when
coming from userspace"

Are we ready to call out to C at this point in the exception handlers?
