This component declares the following prototype for a handler of an interrupt type.

Once the handler routine completes, execution will return to either the secure

`cpu_context` structure of the current CPU for the target security state. It
should treat all error conditions as critical errors and take appropriate action

`cpu_context` structure of the current CPU for the target security state. On
AArch64, this return value is currently ignored by the caller as the
appropriate `cpu_context` to be used is expected to be set by the handler
via the context management library APIs.
A portable interrupt handler implementation must set the target context both in
the structure pointed to by the returned pointer and via the context management
library APIs. The handler should treat all error conditions as critical errors
and take appropriate action within its implementation e.g. use assertion
failures.
