I haven't used an FIQ myself yet so excuse the possibly silly question.
Surely if you are using an alternate register set in an FIQ, at some
early stage, somewhere, you'd want to initialise those registers (eg.
Setup a pointer at the start of a circular buffer). How would you
achieve this if you aren't able to/allowed to switch modes manually ?
