I've checked in this patch to add some minimal documentation for the
MicroBlaze interrupt handler attributes. I was able to figure this out
by inspection of the code and reading the processor documentation, which
has a more extensive discussion of how to use these features.

+These attributes indicate that the specified function is an interrupt
+handler. Use the @code{fast_interrupt} attribute to indicate handlers
+used in low-latency interrupt mode, and @code{interrupt_handler} for
+interrupts that do not use low-latency handlers. In both cases, GCC
+emits appropriate prologue code and generates a return from the handler
+using @code{rtid} instead of @code{rtsd}.
