Interrupt Usage.

The onboard Intel 82801BA provides an ISA compatible interrupt controller with
functionality as two 8259A interrupt controllers. The two controllers are cascaded to
provide 13 external interrupts.

The actual interrupt settings depend on the PnP handler, the table below indicates the
