If this is a valid use-case, it should be really straightforward to add this abstraction to RTDM. We should just document that rtdm_irq_end() shall not be invoked from IRQ context - to avoid breaking the chain in the shared-IRQ scenario. RTDM_IRQ_ENABLE must remain the way to re-enable the line from the handler. Jan
