This looks interesting and I want to take a look. For now, I can only review the
series, but maybe at some point I'll take the leap and try to run Linux on my
Macbook Air.

Can I find something resembling a specification for the Apple interrupt
controller, or the only available documentation is in the Linux driver and patches
on the mailing list?

Thanks,

Alex
