I can't think of a single non-68k/coldfire processor which has the
multiple priority interrupt levels (but I don't know ARM) or an
equivalent. Did ARM come that much of age? I'd be surprised.

Even power do not have it, some cores do have a FIRQ which has
priority over IRQ (i.e. will interrupt an IRQ handler). On the core
I use (and did not use the FIRQ) there is a hardware mess with the
return from FIRQ opcodes - and IIRC the suggested workaround would
kill the "FIRQ interrupt IRQ" capability, LOL. (I think it was
to copy the FIRQ return registers to those for IRQ and exectute
a return from IRQ.... too bad if you had just interrupted an IRQ
handler).
