This instruction is used at the end of an interrupt service routine. It restores the flag register and
the program counter. It also re-enables global interrupts. A "normal IRET" is executed only if the
fast interrupt status bit (FIS, bit one of the FLAGS register, 0D5H) is cleared (= "0"). If a fast
interrupt occurred, IRET clears the FIS bit that was set at the beginning of the service routine.
Flags:
All flags are restored to their original settings (that is, the settings before the interrupt occurred).

Example:
In the figure below, the instruction pointer is initially loaded with 100H in the main program
before interrupts are enabled. When an interrupt occurs, the program counter and instruction
pointer are swapped. This causes the PC to jump to address 100H and the IP to keep the return
address. The last instruction in the service routine normally is a jump to IRET at address FFH.
This causes the instruction pointer to be loaded with 100H "again" and the program counter to
jump back to the main program. Now, the next interrupt can occur and the IP is still correct at
100H.

NOTE:
In the fast interrupt example above, if the last instruction is not a jump to IRET, you must pay
attention to the order of the last two instructions. The IRET cannot be immediately proceeded by
a clearing of the interrupt status (as with a reset of the IPR register).
