Thanks for your explanation. But as I knew, ISRs should be as short as
possible to reduce the time of masking interrupts and other non-critical
stuff can be processed in DSRs. So I don't understand what the following
means:

    "Bearing this in mind, the only thing DSR absolutely has to do is to
    notify the scheduler. All the rest ought to be done either in an ISR or
    in a thread."
