[LLVMdev] LLVM and Interrupt Service Routines.

[Sandeep Patel]

Anton recently added support for __attribute__((naked)) in r76198 and
r76201. I'd imagine that the GCC "interrupt" and "isr" synonyms would
go in similarly. How each target handles the code generation
differences will be the interesting part.
