Also, which platforms support nested interrupts? Last I knew, this was
prohibited.

And I now see what you were getting at here. Yes, the current code
assumes that interrupt-disabled regions, like hardware interrupt
handlers, cannot be interrupted. But if interrupt-disabled regions such
as hardware interrupt handlers can be interrupted (as opposed to being
NMIed), wouldn't that break a whole lot of stuff all over the place in
the kernel? So that sounds like an arch bug to me.
Thanx, Paul
