Interrupt Controller

The interrupt controller operates as an interrupt manager for the entire AT system
environment. The controller accepts requests from peripherals, issues interrupt requests to
the processor, resolves interrupt priorities, and provides vectors for the processor to
determine which interrupt routine to execute. The interrupt controller has priority
assignment modes that can be reconfigured at any time during system operations.
