 * Note that TI's way of handling interrupts sacrifices Nucleus' ability
 * to nest interrupts and minimize the IRQ-disabled window: if my (Falcon's)
 * understanding is correct, TI's code leaves all further IRQs disabled
 * for the full execution duration of an IRQ handler.  (IRQ handlers are
 * really LISRs, but TI's GSM fw does not use Nucleus' LISR framework.)

/*
 * Thanks to TI for discovering and documenting this apparent ARM7TDMI bug:

BUG correction 1st part -------------------
It looks like there is an issue with ARM7 IRQ masking in the CPSR register
which leads to crashes in Nucleus+ scheduler.
Basically the code below  (correct as LOCKOUT = 0xC0) is used in many places by N+ but do not 
prevent from having an interrupt after the execution of the third line (I mean execution, not 
fetch).
        MRS     a1,CPSR                     ; Pickup current CPSR
        ORR     a1,a1,#LOCKOUT              ; Build interrupt lockout value
        MSR     CPSR,a1                     ; Lockout interrupts
       * IRQ INTERRUPT ! *
       Next instructions...

SW workaround:
When a task is interrupted at this point an interrupted context is stored on its task and will 
be resumed later on at the next instruction but to make a long story short it leads to some 
problem as the OS does not expect to be interrupted there.
Further testing tends to show that the CPSR *seems* to be loaded with the proper masking value 
but that the IRQ is still triggered (has been hardwarewise requested during the instruction 
exectution by the ARM7 core?)
