;This routine configures the interrupt controller to provide two cascaded
;interrupt inputs (through an external 8259A connected to INT0 and INTA0#)
;and two direct interrupt inputs connected to INT1 and INT3. The default
;priorities are used.
;
;The example assumes that the register addresses have been properly defined.
