Any chance that you can remove this (existing) restriction. It'd be good to be
able to use this in some networking code (eg netif_carrier_[off|on]() ), but
that might be in interrupt context.

It may be just a matter of duplicating the arguments, but I really know SFA
about this stuff, and am loath to touch it least it turn to mush in my
fingers.
