However you are going to have to execute the cpu cycles at some point,
if the interrupt isn't going to schedule a process then you probably
want to avoid the cost of the scheduling the deferred code.

Remembers the ISR code to drive a stepper motor graph plotter under RSX/11M
(which expected the h/w ISR to just remove the IRQ and leave the rest of
the code to some os work queue...)
