No, sorry, I really think it's the wrong direction of travel. Its adding
bodges to try to handle the fact that we disabled interrupts during the
step, and we really shouldn't be doing that (See my reply to Doug).

As I said, I would prefer some feedback on my proposal for dealing with
this properly [1] rather than more futile attempts to build on top of the
mess that we have at the moment.
