It was derived from a fairly recent copy of the x86 irq.c; running out of time I never completed the rewrite. The idea is to implement some kind of modular interrupt mechanism which allows us to have a single piece of code in the MIPS kernel that knows how to handle i8259 interrupt, a single piece of code to handle GT64120 interrupts etc. Not like the current mess which duplicates code ad infinitum. Aside it's also going to make the RTLinux fraction happy. Ralf
