Description

TrustZone in Armv8-m processors like the Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 supports a second 'secure' copy of registers like SysTick and VTOR. It also supports a second interrupt vector table.

I'd like to add support, but it should be behind a feature flag as not all Cortex-M23/33 implementations support Secure Mode.

Start by surveying the repository for existing Cortex-M feature flags and SysTick, VTOR, and interrupt-vector support, then consult the linked Arm references; done means Secure Mode support is available behind a feature flag for applicable Armv8-M targets.
