     35  1.1.6.2  thorpej Notes on interrupts.
     36  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     37  1.1.6.2  thorpej Ok since interrupts can be chained the return value from an interrupt
     38  1.1.6.2  thorpej handler is important.
     39  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     40  1.1.6.2  thorpej The following return values are defined :
     41  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     42  1.1.6.2  thorpej -1	- interrupt may have been for us but not sure so pass it on
     43  1.1.6.2  thorpej 0	- interrupt no serviced (not ours)
     44  1.1.6.2  thorpej 	  interrupt serviced but pass on down the chain
     45  1.1.6.2  thorpej 1	- interrupt serviced do not pass on down the chain
     46  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     47  1.1.6.2  thorpej The important bit is whether the interrupt should be passed on down
     48  1.1.6.2  thorpej the chain of attached interrupt handlers.
     49  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     50  1.1.6.2  thorpej For some interrupts and drivers where only a single device is
     51  1.1.6.2  thorpej ever expected, the interrupt should be claimed if it has been serviced.
     52  1.1.6.2  thorpej Passing it on down the chain may result in the stray interrupt handler
     53  1.1.6.2  thorpej being called.
     54  1.1.6.2  thorpej There are however some interrupt that should *always* be passed on down
     55  1.1.6.2  thorpej the chain. These are interrupt which may commonly have multiple drivers
     56  1.1.6.2  thorpej attached.
     57  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     58  1.1.6.2  thorpej The following interrupts should always be passed on (return value of 0)
     59  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     60  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_TIMER0
     61  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_TIMER1
     62  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_VSYNC
     63  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_FLYBACK
     64  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_PODULE
     65  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     66  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_CLOCK	(RC7500)
     67  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     68  1.1.6.2  thorpej The following interrupts are recommended to be passed on
     69  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     70  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_DMACH0
     71  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_DMACH1
     72  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_DMACH2
     73  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_DMACH3
     74  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_DMASCH0
     75  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_DMASCH1
     76  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     77  1.1.6.2  thorpej IRQ_SDMA	(RC7500)
     78  1.1.6.2  thorpej 
     79  1.1.6.2  thorpej All other interrupts are not expected to be shared and may be claimed
     80  1.1.6.2  thorpej when serviced. Stray IRQ handlers may or may not be attached to the end
     81  1.1.6.2  thorpej of these irq chains.
