System Support
8259 Mode
The 8259 mode handles interrupts IRQ0-IRQ15 in the legacy (AT-system) method using
8259-equivalent logic. Table 4-7 lists the standard source configuration for maskable interrupts
and their priorities in 8259 mode. If more than one interrupt is pending, the highest priority
(lowest number) is processed first.
