I think you're simply thinking too small here, and should consider using the
attn instruction to implement a full -semihosting interface. You might as well
join arm and riscv with CONFIG_ARM_COMPATIBLE_SEMIHOSTING.
yes. This looks like a good interface. We need an instruction
to generate the semihosting calls.
