If I recall correctly, this is an external-to-the-CPU thing
(wired up by the SoC or the board), which suggests that it
ought to be a property on the CPU object (or perhaps on a
currently-nonexistent container object which has the CPU
and the NVIC and the other M profile devices).

As the code stands today, I think the answer is that the
board has to set the global -- this is what stellaris.c does.
