    A feature of modern ARM CPUs (and some others).

    From the patent:

    A method of performing a fast
    interrupt in a digital data processor
    having the capability of handling more
    than one interrupt is provided. When a
    fast interrupt request is received a
    flag is set and the program counter
    and condition code registers are
    stored on a stack. At the end of the
    interrupt servicing routine the return
    from interrupt instructions retrieves
    the condition code register which
    contains the status of the digital
    data processor and checks to see
    whether the flag has been set or not.
    If the flag is set it indicates that a
    fast interrupt was serviced and
    therefore only the program counter is
    unstacked.

    In other words, an FIQ is just a higher priority interrupt request, that is prioritized by disabling IRQ and other FIQ handlers during request servicing. Therefore, no other interrupts can occur during the processing of the active FIQ interrupt.
