Name "iss" in this case was used not exactly correctly, because this
is only part of HSR.ISS field. ARM refence manual denotes this
part of ISS as RES0 when it describes encoding for conditional
exceptions (ARM DDI 0487A.k pages D7-1939 - D7-1949).

- Added reference to ARM archtecture manual in the commit message.

Please use the latest ARM manual (i.e ARM DDI 0487A.b). And this is 
still not true. If you look at:
	- WFI/WFE, bit 1 is not res0.
	- MCR/MRC, all bits are defined

If you really want to rename this field, then name it pad or ign. But 
res0 is completely bogus.

Cheers,
