Yes.  Interrupts are orthogonal to critical sections, including critical:
blocks.  The only thing a critical: does is arrange that only one process
can be executing it at any one time.  If you want uninterruptibility you'll
want to use valueUninterruptibility.

So the real issue is what process the user interrupt action should
interrupt.  For example, I think it's very wrong that the user interrupt
action can interrupt the finalization process.  But which process it
chooses is not well defined.  We've discussed this in the past without
coming to much of a conclusion.
