I don't think that's how COMPLETE_AND_RESUME works. The caller specifies an
address at which it would like to begin execution within the client
exception level.

SDEI spec suggests this behaves like a synchronous exception. DEN 0054C
5.2.2 'Event Resume Context' speaks more about how it is supposed to
work.
