XA User Guide 3-3 3/24/97
PSW.RSn are writable when the XA is operating in system or user mode, and programs running
in either mode may explicitly change these bits to make selected banks visible one at a time.
More commonly, the interrupt mechanism, as described in Chapter 4, provides automatic
implicit register bank switching so interrupt handlers may immediately begin operating in a
reserved register context.
