Yeah. But I think I'll bake that into a nice todo.rst task for the
next intern. It's kinda the perfect task, including some cleanup in
armada and a bit of wtf in hdlcd.

Usually we solved this by wrapping everything (i.e. from atomic_begin
to atomic_flush) under a commit spinlock. Same with the entire
interrupt handler. You can do more complicated ofc, but this tends to
get the job done and very obviously avoids all the races. Also as long
as you don't have any register writes in there it should be fast
enough. If not, prepare all the register data as a separate allocation
and then just exchange the pointers.
