Hello.

And with the "IO-APIC-edge" and "IO-APIC-level" alternatives back when the
concept of IRQ controllers was introduced, "XT-PIC" rather than "8259A"
sounded quite right.

  I don't follow you here.

These were the three first names of interrupt controllers introduced backin 2.1 and the names chosen looked consistent.


   I'd say they *only* looked consistent then. :-)

In fact, i8259.c is driving two coupled together 8259 chips, so using theword "XT" in this context was absolutely wrong.

   As for the I/O APIC, I think i82903AA was "the reference design" for it...
