[okl4-developer] Interrupts

Does this mean, the functions like hardware_register_interrupt() or
the corresponding low-level L4-Calls won't work?

Well, the part in the idl4 [async_handler] is clear, but the problem is
now how to get correctly registered for interrupts using machines.py
For my raw testing purposes I hacked my code into the vserial_async_handler()
And used the corresponding interrupt, but that's no real solution.
