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.
