+ * mprv_{read,write}_* - Modified privilege memory access functions.
+ *
+ * These inline functions perform a read or write memory operation with the
+ * mstatus.MPRV bit set. This causes the memory protections and translation of
+ * the previous mode (e.g. U-mode, if we're handling a trap from U-mode) to be
+ * applied.
+ *
+ * The user of these functions must make sure to avoid trap loops through
+ * unaligned memory accesses.
