Transition library provides the following functionalities:
1) Setup the environment for switching to any particular EL and jump to the
loaded program at that EL. In short "Execute program X at exception level Y
using the state Z"
2) Provides routines for exception entry and exception exit that can be used by
any program to implement exception handling. The only routine required by the
program would be exc_dispatch which handles the exception in its own required
way and returns by making a call to exc_exit. On exc_exit, the transition
library unwinds the whole stack by popping out the saved state of xregs
