In the case of ret_from_crit_except and ret_from_mc_except, it looks
like those are restored by ret_from_level_except, so that's fine.
And fast_interrupt_return you added NVGPRS restore in the previous
patch too.
Maybe actually you could move that interrupt_64.h code that applies to
both 64s and 64e in patch 1. So then the 64s/e enablement patches are
independent and apply to exactly that subarch.
But code-wise I think this looks good.

Could possibly share these macros.
