This would fix the specific issue of not being able to do byte or halfword
accesses to the SHPR registers, but it doesn't do anything about other
byte-accessible registers like the CFSR.

The right fix for this is for armv7m_nvic to expose a memory region for
the system control space which implements byte and halfword accesses,
and not to try to indirect everything through a single GIC region.
