- * This file contains the code used by various IRQ handling routines:
- * asking for different IRQ's should be done through these routines
- * instead of just grabbing them. Thus setups with different IRQ numbers
- * shouldn't result in any weird surprises, and installing new handlers
- * should be easier.
- *
- * IRQ's are in fact implemented a bit like signal handlers for the kernel.
- * Naturally it's not a 1:1 relation, but there are similarities.
