-       return InterruptPending && (QueryCancelPending || ProcDiePending);
+       return PENDING_INTERRUPT_LEVEL() >= QUERY_CANCEL;

This is pretty similar to lock levels, where it is pretty hard to put a
strict monotone hierarchy when it comes to such interruptions.  The new
code does not seem like an improvment either, as for example in the code
mentioned above, you know directly what are the actions involved, which
is not the case with the new code style.
