It's not polluting asm/csr.h because when we get interrupt numer in lower bits
of SCAUSE CSR.

These defines certainly belong to asm/csr.h because they represent possible
exception causes when we get interrupt.

We need these defines for programming HIDELEG CSR in KVM kernel module
so it will be used at multiple places.

You can certainly use these defines in your nommu commit by using
"#ifdef CONFIG_M_MODE" in switch case of do_IRQ().
