[LLVMdev] LLVM and Interrupt Service Routines.

[Alireza.Moshtaghi at microchip.com]

PIC16 is a slightly different animal. It is not only the entry and exit
part of the ISR that are important; also the ISR has to be placed at a
certain location in memory. In addition, since PIC16 does not have a
stack, we have to play few tricks to provide reentrancy for library and
intrinsic functions that are called from ISR as well because save and
restore is also very expensive on these processors. So I don't think
calling convention is a good idea for us.
