On the other hand, you could have a master ISR to which the hardware
presents the address of the interrupting device, and this could be
used to index into a table of vectors to subsidiary ISRs appropriate
to each device.  (This table could be built at boot time by scanning
for and identifying attached devices - or, as in the bad old days,
the table could be hard-coded as a result of the sysgen process.)
