/// been disabled on a preemptible kernel.

/// Certain functions take an immutable reference of [`LocalInterruptDisabled`] in order to require
/// that they may only be run in local-interrupt-disabled contexts on preemptible kernels.
///
/// This is a marker type; it has no size, and is simply used as a compile-time guarantee that local
/// processor interrupts are disabled on preemptible kernels. Note that no guarantees about the
/// state of interrupts are made by this type on non-preemptible kernels.
///
/// # Invariants
///
/// Local processor interrupts are disabled on preemptible kernels for as long as an object of this
/// type exists.

/// Disable local processor interrupts on a preemptible kernel.
///
/// This function disables local processor interrupts on a preemptible kernel, and returns a
/// [`LocalInterruptDisabled`] token as proof of this. On non-preemptible kernels, this function is
/// a no-op.
///
/// **Usage of this function is discouraged** unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are
/// doing, as kernel interfaces for Rust that deal with interrupt state will typically handle local
/// processor interrupt state management on their own and managing this by hand is quite error
/// prone.
