That would help but still not be a safe mechanism. Not only the processor
may be missing the edge - Linux may also disable interrupts for quite a
long time. You'd have to use a hard realtime variant of Linux or you will
loose interrupts ...

This is a very processor specific detail. R4000 for example will sample
interrupts on pipe stage 3; something along that lines is probably done
in most in-order processors.
