I think the difficulty here is with "cause register"? That' a register which
indicates the cause of an exception, e.g.

* MIPS has `cause` (coprocessor 0 register 13)
* arm64 / AArch64 has `ESR_ELx` (Exception Syndrome Register, ELx)

We could probably clarify this as "exception cause registers" or "exception
status registers", if that helps?

Thanks,
Mark.
