The interrupt attribute can have optional parameters to specify the mode.
The possible values are `supervisor`, or `machine`, or vendor-specific values.
The default value `machine` is used, if the mode is not specified.

The function can specify only one mode; the compiler should raise an error if a
function declares more than one mode or an undefined mode.
The compiler should raise an error if a function declares incompatible modes, or
an undefined mode. The `supervisor` mode is incompatible with the `machine`
mode.

This attribute is incompatible with the `naked` attribute.
