You'd better define a marco for it to prevent further confusion.

Btw I'm curious about how do kernel receive EJTAG exception?
In my understanding there are only two possible EJTAG exception vectors,
0xbfc00480 and DSEG one. Both of them are reachable by kernel.
How do this piece of code work?

Thanks.
