Which ISB?  We have a few in the SError handling code, but that's
conditioned on not having RAS. With any RAS-enabled CPU, we return to
C code early, since we don't need any extra synchronisation (see the
comment about the absence of ISB on this path).

I would really like to ensure that we return to C code in the exact
state we left it.

Ah, I totally missed this email (or can't remember reading it, which
amounts to the same thing). Apologies for that.

Yeah, this looks fine, please ignore my rambling.
