 This solves our immediate problem, but we're still left writing a lot of
 `unsafe` code which we need to carefully reason about, and we might be using

+critical sections needlessly. Each critical section adds a small amount of

 It's worth noting that while a critical section guarantees no interrupts will
 fire, it does not provide an exclusivity guarantee on multi-core systems!  The
