I'm trying it your way, with an ipending variable.
The set-cli-in-return-frame mechanism would only work well for level
interrupts. Basically the interrupt occurs and you set PS_I in the
return frame (that was pushed on entry to the interrupt).
critical_exit() would then detect the 1->0 transition and simply STI.
But since we have a combination of level and edge it gets too messy for
my tastes, so I'm trying it with an ipending variable.
