Just a very minor point but I think one in line with the rest
of the problems addressed by these patches:  in the last sorry,
no_caller_saved_registers should be quoted in %< and %>.

(Also, although it's often left out, the other message above
seem like they could do with an article:

  instructions aren't allowed in <ins>an </ins>interrupt service
  routine)
