I'm not sure that document would be the best
place to document the separate IRQ and NMI
stacks.

It may make sense to create a separate
document about the entry and exit code,
which also documents the different stacks.

At least, I suspect the stacks make most 
sense when the mechanism that jumps around 
between them is documented in the same place.

I may be wrong, of course :)
