You need to lock memory touched by any code that is executed in an
interrupt context.  Besides your own interrupt handlers, one other
situation is a real-mode callback for functions like the mouse handler
(registered with function 0Ch of Int 33h), because the mouse driver
calls that callback from within a n interrupt handler.
