The default Mongoose bsp vectoring code takes this approach, mostly
because its cheaper to service a bunch of interrupts than to unwind
the interrupt service routine, then enter it again.  It sort of
preserves the concept of interrupt priority by scanning the interrupt
causes in defined if arbitrary priority order.
