Yeah, it works so long as you save and restore the original interrupt 
level or you remove the second invocation of rtems_interrupt_disable.  I 
suspect that the intended implementation was to just have a single 
invocation of rtems_interrupt_disable since test_interrupt_inline only 
has one invocation and it does basically the same set of tests using 
inline functions.
