Sounds to me like top half and bottom half, what you are talking about. 
There is a monimal interrupt handler, the top half. The bottom half is 
the actual code that does something, but it gets called but the 
scheduler later, not by the interrupt directly.

If that's what you were thinking about - that's something else.
