What can be accessed by MRS/MSR in user mode?
In ARMv7-A/R ARM there is an encoding for ARMv7VE (A1):
Is this instruction available in ARMv7-A, Cortex A7?
If not, what does this bit pattern do in Cortex A7? UNPREDICTABLE?
There is no explanation of the M1 or M fields in ARMv7-A/R ARM, but in ARMv8 ARM there is.
The instruction encodings look the same, but what kind of mode restrictions apply?
I guess one can't access SP_fig in user mode?
I believe the encoding is the same in both v7-A/R and v8?
That made it very clear - and I also learned where the 'VE' comes from.

I just wasn't sure. There are a lot of people with Japanese origin that have lived all their lives in other countries, like USA.
