From: Nicholas Piggin <npig...@gmail.com> The difference between lite and regular returns is that the lite case restores all NVGPRs, whereas lite skips that. This is quite clumsy though, most interrupts want the NVGPRs saved for debugging, not to modify in the caller, so the NVGPRs restore is not necessary most of the time. Restore NVGPRs explicitly for one case that requires it, and move everything else over to avoiding the restore unless the interrupt return demands it (e.g., handling a signal).
