These comments aren't really accurate anymore:

- The function only handles interrupt entry, not exit.

- All registers are saved, there is no fast path.

"interrupt_helper" is a bit vague, how about "interrupt_entry"?  That
better describes its purpose and also makes it more analagous to
paranoid_entry() and error_entry().

The hint looks right, though the comment formatting isn't in the kernel
style.

Objtool doesn't scan this file yet, so no hints needed here yet.

Adding it to my TODO list...
