You've still got a path whereby you modify PC without saving the old one.

I don't think you want to add the do_interrupt hook at all until you're ready 
to do real async interrupts.

There's no reason you can't modify PC here at the end of 
raise_exception_sync_internal.  If you omit the set of exception_index here, 
you'll simply exit the cpu loop and immediately re-enter it at the new PC, 
without having to go through the do_interrupt hook.
