I wasn't 100% sure about the word 'interrupt', but then decided > a HW slave support without interrupts would be so rare and adventurous > that it is okay to use the term :) Yeah, I agree on HW slave support without interrupts is hardly possible. But I imagine that controllers differ in which situations they can issue an interrupt so talking about them for generic code feels strange to me because $flexiblecontrolerwithvariousirqs doesn't need to send more events than $bareminimumcontroler.
