Ah, I know, my original comment was wrong, what you were in fact doing
was restoring the user sp to the svc reg, the write to the CPSR from the
SPSR happens after restoring all the other regs (except the PC)
according to the ldm exception return pseudocode.

ok, I think it's correct now, except for the bit about the lr, see
below.

I don't think store of lr is necessary, lr was just overwritten by the
bl instruction above, and it will get overwritten at exception entry to
SVC mode again.
