+//! Interrupt controls
+//!
+//! This module allows Rust code to annotate areas of code where local processor interrupts should
+//! be disabled, along with actually disabling local processor interrupts.
+//!
+//! # ⚠️ Warning! ⚠️
+//!
+//! The usage of this module can be more complicated than meets the eye, especially surrounding
+//! [preemptible kernels]. It's recommended to take care when using the functions and types defined
+//! here and familiarize yourself with the various documentation we have before using them, along
+//! with the various documents we link to here.

+/// A guard that represents local processor interrupt disablement on preemptible kernels.
+///
+/// [`LocalInterruptDisabled`] is a guard type that represents that local processor interrupts have
+/// 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.
+pub struct LocalInterruptDisabled(NotThreadSafe);
+
+/// 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.
