+ * I/O ASIC implements two kinds of DMA interrupts, informational and
+ * error interrupts.
+ *
+ * The formers do not stop DMA and should be cleared as soon as possible
+ * so that if they retrigger before the handler has completed, usually as
+ * a side effect of actions taken by the handler, then they are reissued.
+ * These use the `handle_edge_irq' handler that clears the request right
+ * away.
+ *
+ * The latters stop DMA and do not resume it until the interrupt has been
+ * cleared.  This cannot be done until after a corrective action has been
+ * taken and this also means they will not retrigger.  Therefore they use
+ * the `handle_fasteoi_irq' handler that only clears the request on the
+ * way out.  Because MIPS processor interrupt inputs, one of which the I/O
+ * ASIC is cascaded to, are level-triggered it is recommended that error
+ * DMA interrupt action handlers are registered with the IRQF_ONESHOT flag
+ * set so that they are run with the interrupt line masked.
+ *
+ * This mask has `1' bits in the positions of informational interrupts.
