Yes, there is a difference.  The CPU_Exception_frame should contain the 
complete processor state.  The CPU_Interrupt_frame should contain only the part 
necessary for interrupt processing (usually a processor state register, the 
return context and the volatile register set).  Thus CPU_Interrupt_frame 
contains a subset of CPU_Exception_frame.

Yes, this is a good idea.
