The rotten IRQ thing gives you the old irq.c which assumes more or less x86 centric interrupt handling, that is a 2 PICs and doesn't get SMP right and leaves us a ton of structural problems. Don't use, it's destilled evil ;-) > Could you name an arch in the cvs distribution that uses the new style IRQ's Interrupt handling is an per architecture thing; currently i386 is coming closest to the new design of our future interrupts.
