🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what this does is keep track of the number of DDCBs that are currently in the queue πŸ‘‘

this count is needed for statistics, and also for the condition where we want to wait β€” or, honestly, better to do polling in case there are no interrupts available 😭 like when the interrupts just aren't showing up, you gotta know how many DDCBs are sitting in the queue so you can decide what to do. fr fr.
