I think it is the _MASK suffix that mainly bugs me here, since this is
not a define that you normally use for extracting the bits from a PSW...
so EXCEPTIONS_PSW without _MASK would be fine for me... but as long as
I'm the only one who has a strange feeling about this, it's also ok if
you keep the current name.
