NOTE: IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated
to I/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the
operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. After
receiving the signal, when the operating system is ready, the system
will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the IO device.
