SRESET exists on many PowerPC, it means "soft reset". Not the same
thing at all.

I think "INT" is not a great prefix fwiw, there are many things you can
abbr to "INT".

exceptions-64s.S calls this "DSLB" (I remember "DSSI" though -- but neither
is a very official name). It probably is a good idea to look at that
existing code, not make up even more new names :-)

That saves three characters and makes it very not understandable.
