I had reviewed this before and I see not all the comments are addressed. I had mentioned that you can't add support to _SECURE_ channel in Linux as you need to assume Linux runs in non-secure privilege(and I gather that's the case even on this platform from other email in the thread)

That could be design, interrupt support could be present on some systems. The bindings should be flexible to add that support in future if needed along with necessary code.
