Feather-Trace: keep track of interrupt-related interference.2012.1

Increment a processor-local counter whenever an interrupt is handled.
This allows Feather-Trace to include a (truncated) counter and a flag
to report interference from interrupts. This could be used to filter
samples that were disturbed by interrupts.
