The number of physical interrupts on an x86 platform depends on the bus
and IRQ chip technology in use. It ranges from 8 (PC XT) to 16 (ISA PC, early
PCI) to 240 (APIC using systems).

The tasklet and related code then provide support for pure software event
handlers or events pushed off from the physical IRQ
