It seems like it should work (but I didn't actually try), with one 
correction: you should always lock code that hooks interrupts and data 
that is touched by the handler, or else your handler can be paged to disk 
when the interrupt hits.  In v1.x there was no mechanism to lock parts of 
memory in certain situations.
