Holds the saved process state for Debug state. On entering Debug state, PSTATE information is written to this register. On exiting Debug state, values are copied from this register to PSTATE.
AArch64 System register DSPSR_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register DSPSR[31:0].
AArch64 System register DSPSR_EL0 bits [63:32] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register DSPSR2[31:0] when FEAT_Debugv8p9 is implemented.
DSPSR_EL0 is a 64-bit register.
