//! Low level access to processors using the AArch64 execution state.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! Please note that for using this crate's [register definitions](src/registers) (as provided by
//! `aarch64_cpu::registers::*`), you need to also import [`Readable`](registers::Readable) and
//! [`Writeable`](registers::Writeable).
//!
//! ### Example
//!
//! Check out https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials for usage examples.
//! Listed below is a snippet of `rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials`'s early boot code.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use aarch64_cpu::{asm, registers::*};
//!
//! // Some parts omitted for brevity.
//!
//! unsafe fn prepare_el2_to_el1_transition(
//! virt_boot_core_stack_end_exclusive_addr: u64,
//! virt_kernel_init_addr: u64,
//! ) {
//! // Enable timer counter registers for EL1.
//! CNTHCTL_EL2.write(CNTHCTL_EL2::EL1PCEN::SET + CNTHCTL_EL2::EL1PCTEN::SET);
//!
//! // No offset for reading the counters.
//! CNTVOFF_EL2.set(0);
//!
//! // Set EL1 execution state to AArch64.
//! HCR_EL2.write(HCR_EL2::RW::EL1IsAarch64);
//!
//! // Set up a simulated exception return.
//! SPSR_EL2.write(
//! SPSR_EL2::D::Masked
//! + SPSR_EL2::A::Masked
//! + SPSR_EL2::I::Masked
//! + SPSR_EL2::F::Masked
//! + SPSR_EL2::M::EL1h,
//! );
//! }
//! ```
//!
