Low level interrupt handling



Hi,

I've been looking at low level interrupt handling in the OSKit, with a
view to making some modifications to support real-time priority based
scheduling. 

In the file "oskit-0.96/kern/x86/pc/base_irq_inittab.S",
which contains the assembler interrupt handler routines, there is a
comment:
        /* XXX re-enable the processor's I flag? */
  
It looks as if someone thinks interrupts should be re-enabled at this
point, something with which I can only agree!

Has anyone else looked at this?

Thanks to everyone involved with making and releasing the OSKit.
