Should only be "restore"?  I don't see saving.

This is redundant if we're repeatedly processing interrupts or exceptions
within a single task.  We should only be writing envcfg when switching
between tasks or as part of the prctl.

We need to use an ALTERNATIVE for this since the oldest supported hardware
does not have envcfg csrs.
