Masking is done automatically in hardware (can be undone in software),
acknowledge? What device? what hardware? How? Where? You only know there
is an interrupt. You can check the know system hardware, and if it
doesnīt come from there, itīs unknown (to the arch irq-code) hardware,
i.e. a plug-in card, so call code that knows the card.
