That shouldn't be the case. There isn't a single ISR for *every*
interrupt... there's one ISR capable of chaining installed on *each*
interrupt separately. It's the same _function_ installed on each
interrupt, but it is passed different data so that it calls different
chained handlers for each interrupt.
