Memory map
Interrupts
The following table reflects a typical configuration, but you can change these interrupts.
Use this information to determine how to program each interrupt. The actual interrupt
map is defined using configuration registers in the ICH5-R (I/O controller). I/O Redirection
Registers in the I/O APIC are provided for each interrupt signal. The signals define hardware
interrupt signal characteristics for APIC messages sent to local APIC(s).
