As mentioned before, this has already been discussed in detail a long time
ago, and it's not as easy as it looks on the first glance. I cannot find the
original discussion now, maybe it preceedes the mailing list archive. The
biggest problem is that the manipulation of the stack pointer is not interrupt
safe, so the stack pointer may be invalid when the interrupt routine is
entered. This means that the entry code will have to switch to another stack.
This stack has to be allocated somewhere, so just declaring something as
__interrupt__ or similar is not enough.
