8.4.6 Poll and Poll Status Registers
The Poll and Poll Status registers allow you to poll the Interrupt Control Unit and service inter-
rupts through software. You can read these registers to determine whether an interrupt is pending
and, if so, the interrupt type. The registers contain identical information, but reading them pro-
duces different results.
