//     Architecture specific exception handler API
//
// ALMOS-MKH defines three classes of exceptions:
//
// - NON_FATAL : exceptions such as "page unmapped" or "FPU unusable" can be non fatal.
//   => The hal_do_exception() function call the generic vmm_handle_page_fault(),
//      or the fpu_handle_exception() function, and the calling thread resumes execution
//      when the exception has been handled.
//
// - USER_ERROR : exceptions such a "illegal vaddr" or "illegal write access" are fatal.
//   => The hal_do_exception() function send a kill signal to the calling thread process,
//      and displays an error message on TXT0.
//
// - KERNEL_PANIC : "kernel mistakes" are abnormal events.
//   => The hal_do_exception() function calls the generic panic() function, to display
//      a message on TXT0, disable IRQs and call the hal_core_sleep() function.
//
// For all exceptions, the faulty core registers have been saved in the "uzone"
// that can be accessed through the "uzone" pointer stored in thread descriptor.
