Cortex-M4: guaranteed wakeup from WFI?

Hi all!
I'm wondering how to ensure that the Cortex-M4 is always woken up on an interrupt from the WFI instruction when executing code like this:
__disable_irq();
// do something ...
__enable_irq();
__WFI();
If an interrupt is triggered between __enable_irq() and __WFI(), the interrupt handler is processed [font="Arial"]immediately and completed before [/font][font="Courier New"]__WFI() is executed, i.e., [/font][font="Arial"][font="Courier New"]__WFI()[/font] will wait for the next interrupt such that the first one is effectively lost. The ATmega* processors have a very simple solution to this problem: enabling interrupts is always delayed by one clock cycle such that the processor can safely enter sleep mode before interrupts can occur and wake up the processor. Thereby it is guaranteed that the processor is always woken up on an interrupt. How is this done on the Cortex-M4? As far as I know, there is no such enable interrupt delay, or is there a totally different mechanism to ensure wakeup on interrupts?
Thanks & kind regards,
Markus
P.S.: A lengthy discussion on a similar topic is
