This insures the common exception handler will not be
re-entered. The handler does not support nested interrupts
and the interrupt stack pointer and context will be overwritten
resulting in hard to debug hardfaults.
If all the priorities are equal the NVIC prevents the
preemption. The startup code defaults all the priorities
to the same value 128.
This change safeguards in 2 ways 1) By disabling
CONFIG_ ARCH_IRQPRIO: up_prioritize_irq cannot be called.
This will insure that all HW interrupts are at the same
priority.
2) By disabling CONFIG_ARCH_HIPRI_INTERRUP, the common
exception will disable any interrupts during interrupt
processing.
This saves almost 2kb of RAM when using the mavlink shell. 70 matches the
size of the mavlink message. Since the pipe is blocking, a process writing
a lot of data will just wait, data will not be dropped.
The mavlink shell is the only process creating a pipe.
