It's not my area of expertise, but as far as I'm aware, no, the whole
NVIC belongs to the core itself. I don't believe that the M-profile
architecture has any notion of SMP; if multiple M-profile cores exist in
the same SoC, they should be independent and each have their own NVIC.
Which peripheral IRQ outputs are wired to which core(s) will be a
design-time decision.
