I'm not sure I agree that this is necessary - or necessarily a good thing.
The interrupt tells the thread to wakeup. Once the thread wakes up any
access to data shared between the interruptor and interruptee should be
correctly synchronized as normal.
What you are proposing essentially amounts to making the "interrupted"
"field" of a thread behave as a volatile - right?
