Servicing of k
Interrupt request j is held pending because its
priority is lower than that of i. k that occurs after j is
acknowledged because it has the higher priority.
Interrupt requests m and n are held pending
because servicing of l is performed in the interrupt
disabled status.
Pending interrupt requests are acknowledged after
servicing of interrupt request l.
At this time, interrupt request n is acknowledged
first even though m has occurred first because the
priority of n is higher than that of m.

Servicing of r

EI
(level 0)
If levels 3 to 0 are acknowledged
Pending interrupt requests t and u are
acknowledged after processing of s.
Because the priorities of t and u are the same, u is
acknowledged first because it has the higher
default priority, regardless of the order in which the
interrupt requests have been generated.
