The basic 68k did interrupt priorities in hardware, fwir. 3 bits of
input to the chip, usually driven by a ttl 8-3 line priority
encoder, with hardwired inputs to set priority. Not sure about the
-020 and later details, but fwir, all later versions has a relocatable
vector table at least, whereas in the original, it was fixed.

I worked on a project using the Dragonball VZ and that was far more
interesting, with relocatable vector table, control register, mask
register, status register, pending register and level (priority)
register, all interrupt related. Only used a fraction of the
capability, but good to have it there.

Last project used a Renesas device, which looked like the old Hitachi
8 bit series + 8 added address bits. Far from being a clean
architecture but got the job done.

As for ARM, only have limited experience of Cortex M3 and still
haven't worked a project using it, which is where you really find
out how good it is. On paper though, it ticks all the boxes
from every angle, eg; has borrowed all the Dragonball int ideas and
then some. The best book on the M3 is probably the Joseph Yiu
Definitive Guide to the Arm Cortex M3. Expensive and goes on a bit
in places, but more concise than the official docs.

Has Arm come of age ?, yes, I think so and worth digging into...
