Yes. In addition to fielding hardware exceptions, the kernel support
allows user code to raise an exception by calling
cyg_exception_call_handler(). The test does this to check that the
kernel-level support is functional. It's still worth testing that,
even though there are few hardware exceptions to make use of it.
