-/* A lot of complication here is taken away because:
- *
- * 1) We handle one interrupt and return, sitting in a loop and moving across
- *    all the pending IRQ bits in the cause register is _NOT_ the answer, the
- *    common case is one pending IRQ so optimize in that direction.
- *
- * 2) We need not check against bits in the status register IRQ mask, that
- *    would make this routine slow as hell.
- *
- * 3) Linux only thinks in terms of all IRQs on or all IRQs off, nothing in
- *    between like BSD spl() brain-damage.
- *
- * Furthermore, the IRQs on the INDY look basically (barring software IRQs
- * which we don't use at all) like:
- *
- *	MIPS IRQ	Source
- *      --------        ------
- *             0	Software (ignored)
- *             1        Software (ignored)
- *             2        Local IRQ level zero
- *             3        Local IRQ level one
- *             4        8254 Timer zero
- *             5        8254 Timer one
- *             6        Bus Error
- *             7        R4k timer (what we use)
- *
- * We handle the IRQ according to _our_ priority which is:
- *
- * Highest ----     R4k Timer
- *                  Local IRQ zero
- *                  Local IRQ one
- *                  Bus Error
- *                  8254 Timer zero
- * Lowest  ----     8254 Timer one
- *
- * then we just return, if multiple IRQs are pending then we will just take
- * another exception, big deal.
