The SP_EL3 characteristics are:
Holds the stack pointer associated with EL3. When executing at EL3, the value of SPSel.SP determines the current stack pointer:
| SPSel.SP | Current stack pointer |
|---|---|
| 0b0 | SP_EL0 |
| 0b1 | SP_EL3 |
This register is present only when EL3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to SP_EL3 are UNDEFINED.
SP_EL3 is a 64-bit register.

Stack pointer.
The reset behavior of this field is:
This register is not accessible using MRS and MSR instructions.
When the value of SPSel.SP is 1, this register is accessible at EL3 as the current stack pointer.
