Interrupt Priority

On ARMv7-M, 124 word-sized registers are available. Each of those contains of 4 interrupt priorities of 8 byte each.The architecture specifically allows accessing those along byte boundaries, so they are represented as 496 byte-sized registers, for convenience, and to allow atomic priority updates.

On ARMv6-M, the registers must only be accessed along word boundaries, so convenient byte-sized representation wouldn't work on that architecture.
