| |
I've kind of wondered this ever since the new format went into the kernel. Wouldn't the interrupts above 8 be considered AT interrupts? The 0 thru 8 were on the XT and then they kludged in another PIC that was cascaded from 2 to 9.
Maybe just a simple "Standard PIC" on UP boxes and "APIC" for SMP boxes would be appropriate.
Seeing "XT PIC" on makes it sound like my system is ooooooold. :)
