Don't you need one block per interrupt level ?
It also means that the functions need to know where they
are being called from - which may not be true.
A thought is that if you are going to reserve this memory
for each cpu, it might as well be reserved as part of the
interrupt stack (assuming interrupts switch stacks).
Process level code would still need to use a reserved buffer.
