When enabled, VMEbus interrupts come in on IRQIO. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that
IRQIO is enabled via the 8259 and that an appropriate interrupt handler is provided. MS-DOS allows the
user to directly manipulate the 8259 and the interrupt vector table. Other operating systems usually
provide a service for attaching to and enabling specific PC/AT IRQs.
