Exception Link Register (Hyp mode)
When taking an exception to Hyp mode, holds the address to return to.
AArch32 System register ELR_hyp bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ELR_EL2[31:0].
This register is present only when FEAT_AA32 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to ELR_hyp are UNDEFINED.
ELR_hyp is a 32-bit register.

The reset behavior of this field is:
ELR_hyp is accessible only at Hyp mode and Monitor mode.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
MRS{<c>}{<q>} <Rd>, ELR_hyp
(R = 0b0, M = 0b1, M1 = 0b1110)
MSR{<c>}{<q>} ELR_hyp, <Rn>
(R = 0b0, M = 0b1, M1 = 0b1110)
