No, NumIntRegs is all the registers in the system, not just the user ones. 
However, if some other register mapping is in effect, the mapping hides the 
user registers so they can't be accessed. Starting in user mode solves the 
problem. As far as the CPSR goes, I only want the updateRegMap() functionality, 
so the no effect versions can't be used and the effect version can change other 
things (E.g. if you were in thumb mode and cpsr mode was written you the 
pcstate would be updated). This seems much cleaner.
