We can evolve things such that common parts are factored into generic
code but most of important part being heavily dependent on the
specific architecture, I don't think there will be too much (calling
irqhandler on a separate stack if necessary, generic IRQ masking flag
mgmt maybe merged into preemption flag and so on).

Thanks.
