Lol! Okay. Thank you for reigning in my clearly reckless
propensities... Sometimes playing in traffic is awfully tempting.

Okay. I think in the end I'll kmalloc, accept the 16% slowdown [1],
and focus efforts on having a separate IRQ stack. Matt emailed in this
thread saying he was already looking into it, so I think by the time
that slowdown makes a difference, we'll have the right pieces in place
anyway.

Thanks for the guidance here.

Regards,
Jason
