IMPRECISERR
Imprecise data bus error:
0 = no imprecise data bus error
1 = a data bus error has occurred, but the return address in the stack frame is not related to the instruction
that caused the error.
When the processor sets this bit to 1, it does not write a fault address to the BFAR.
This is an asynchronous fault. Therefore, if it is detected when the priority of the current process is higher
than the BusFault priority, the BusFault becomes pending and becomes active only when the processor
returns from all higher priority processes. If a precise fault occurs before the processor enters the handler
for the imprecise BusFault, the handler detects both IMPRECISERR set to 1 and one of the precise fault
status bits set to 1.

PRECISERR
Precise data bus error:
0 = no precise data bus error
1 = a data bus error has occurred, and the PC value stacked for the exception return points to the instruction
that caused the fault.
When the processor sets this bit is 1, it writes the faulting address to the BFAR.

IBUSERR
Instruction bus error:
0 = no instruction bus error
1 = instruction bus error.
The processor detects the instruction bus error on prefetching an instruction, but it sets the IBUSERR flag
to 1 only if it attempts to issue the faulting instruction.
When the processor sets this bit is 1, it does not write a fault address to the BFAR.
