What changes the condition code?
Your code implementing NutEnter/Exit Critical? Then change that code to not
touch the condition code.

Or the interrupt routine that may happen with your NutEnterCriticalLevel?
Then keep NutEnterCriticalLevel what it is: an arch-specific extension. Keep
it apart from the generic NutEnter|ExitCritical implementation. Then no
change in the generic nut/dev/ directory is needed.

Bye
