Yeah, it's been in the making in my head. I was planning to rework the
IRQ handling so that it becomes a part of the DDF. As for the second
half of the question, Jiri was suggesting a slightly different approach
during the last HelenOS Camp. In this approach, AFAIR, it would be
primarily or exclusively the interrupt controller driver that would use
the pseudocode. All other drivers would register for interrupts at the
interrupt controller driver (itself a DDF driver) and receive interrupt
notifications from it instead of from the kernel. So these other drivers
would not provide pseudocode, because it would not be needed.
