     * when we have stop/sysrq/go, we get pt_regs of whatever executes
       mc_work_proc().  Would be better to see what we had at the time of
       interrupt that got us stop.
    
     * stop/stop/stop.....  will give stack overflow.  Shouldn't allow stop
       from mconsole_stop().
    
     * stop/stop/go leaves us inside mconsole_stop() with
    	os_set_fd_block(req->originating_fd, 0);
    	reactivate_fd(req->originating_fd, MCONSOLE_IRQ);
       just done by nested mconsole_stop().  Ditto.
    
     * once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed
       out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly
       enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to
       block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like
       "cad" to be executed immediately).  Once we enter monsole_stop(), all
       INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones.  We'd
       better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened.
       (Suggested by lennert).
    
     * stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can
       safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.
