Virtual Deferred Interrupt Status Register (EL3)
Records that a delegated SError exception has been consumed by an ESB instruction executed at EL2, EL1, or EL0 when the Effective value of SCR_EL3.DSE is 1.
An indirect write to VDISR_EL3 made by an ESB instruction does not require an explicit synchronization operation for the value written to be observed by a direct read of DISR_EL1 occurring in program order after the ESB instruction.
This register is present only when FEAT_E3DSE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to VDISR_EL3 are UNDEFINED.
The encoding for this register is subject to change.
VDISR_EL3 is a 64-bit register.
