This message is mainly for david.rusling@digital (but that address didnt
work.. )

Others beginners like me who are using this excellent document for
reference into the linux kernel should take note.

Hi I was reading the document "The Linux Kernel" authored by you.

Its a great document.. and thanks a lot for making it available! :)

I think i found a lil error. In the interrupts chapter, you mentioned that
writting a 1 to a bit on the 0x21 and 0xA1 would "enable" that interrupt.
The intel manuals (PIIX3) says the contrary.
It says writing a 1 MASKS the interrupt.
