EIESB, bits [7:4]
When FEAT_IESB is implemented:

Early Implicit Error Synchronization event. Indicates whether the implicit Error synchronization event inserted on taking an exception to ELx when SCTLR_ELx.IESB is 1 is inserted before or after the exception is taken.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

EIESB	Meaning
0b1111	FEAT_IESB is implemented. When SError exceptions are routed to EL3, and either FEAT_DoubleFault is not implemented or the Effective value of SCR_EL3.NMEA is 1, an implicit Error synchronization event might be inserted after an exception is taken to EL3.
0b0000	FEAT_IESB is not implemented, or behavior is not described.
0b0001	FEAT_IESB is implemented. When SError exceptions are routed to EL3, and either FEAT_DoubleFault is not implemented or the Effective value of SCR_EL3.NMEA is 1, an implicit Error synchronization event is inserted before an exception taken to EL3.
0b0010	As 0b0001, and also: When SError exceptions are routed to EL1, and either FEAT_DoubleFault2 is not implemented or the Effective value of SCTLR2_EL1.NMEA is 1, an implicit Error synchronization event is inserted before an exception taken to EL1. When SError exceptions are routed to EL2, and either FEAT_DoubleFault2 is not implemented or the Effective value of SCTLR2_EL2.NMEA is 1, an implicit Error synchronization event is inserted before an exception taken to EL2.

All other values are reserved.

This field describes the PE behavior on taking an exception to ELx when SCTLR_ELx.IESB is 1. This field does not describe the behavior when SCTLR_ELx.IESB is 0.

The behavior described by this field only applies for the conditions described above. For example, if ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.EIESB reads as 0b0001, then it does not describe the behavior when SError exceptions are not routed to EL3, or when FEAT_DoubleFault is implemented and the Effective value of SCR_EL3.NMEA is 0.

Inserting the event before the exception is taken means that if the Error synchronization event causes an SError exception to become pending, and SError exceptions are not masked and not disabled, then the SError exception is taken in place of the original exception.

When FEAT_IESB is not implemented, the only permitted value of this field is 0b0000.

Access to this field is RO.

Otherwise:

PoPS, bits [3:0]

Support for the clean and invalidate to the Point of Physical Storage instructions:

PoPS	Meaning
0b0000	The System instructions to clean and invalidate to the Point of Physical Storage are not implemented.
0b0001	The specified System instructions to clean and invalidate to the Point of Physical Storage are implemented.

FEAT_PoPS implements the functionality described by the value 0b0001.

All other values are reserved.

Access to this field is RO.
