FreeBSD 5 内核中断处理的最大特点是将中断处理程序在线程的上下文中运行。
为此，内核为每个注册的中断源（即vector）准备一个内核线程，即中断线程，
其任务就是等待中断的发生，一旦发生，便运行相应的中断处理程序。
FreeBSD 5这样做，有好处也有坏处。好处是可以简化线程和中断的互斥关系，
并使得中断处理可以阻塞。
坏处是每次响应中断都要进行线程调度，可能有两次线程上下文的切换
(从用户线程切到中断线程再切回来)。未来的想法是进行lazy scheduling，
即尽可能借用当前线程的上下文，只有在中断要阻塞时才进行真正的调度。
与中断有关的源代码主要在
sys/kern/kern_intr.c (与体系结构无关的中断代码)
sys/i386/i386/intr_machdep.c (与i386体系结构相关的中断代码)
sys/i386/isa/atpic.c (与8259A相关的.c代码)
sys/i386/isa/atpic_vector.s (与8259A相关的.s代码)

1，登记IRQ中断源
1.1 数据结构与函数
中断向量表有多个vector，0-31为CPU用，32~32+15对应IRQ0~IRQ15
一个vector对应一个source，数据类型是struct intsrc
代码:
/*
* An interrupt source. The upper-layer code uses the PIC methods to
* control a given source. The lower-layer PIC drivers can store additional
* private data in a given interrupt source such as an interrupt pin number
* or an I/O APIC pointer.
*/
struct intsrc {
struct pic *is_pic;
struct ithd *is_ithread;
u_long *is_count;
u_long *is_straycount;
u_int is_index;
};
其实在vector后面的是中断控制器，如8259A，I/O APIC等，
事实上，对中断源的控制实际上就是对中断控制器的操作，
因此，在struct intsrc中有成员struct pic *is_pic，
即中断控制器的操作函数表，通过这个表，可以为不同的中断控制器
定义不同的操作，达到demultiplex的作用。这里pic是
programmable interrupt controller的意思。
代码:
/*
* Methods that a PIC provides to mask/unmask a given interrupt source,
* "turn on" the interrupt on the CPU side by setting up an IDT entry, and
* return the vector associated with this source.
*/
struct pic {
void (*pic_enable_source)(struct intsrc *);
void (*pic_disable_source)(struct intsrc *);
void (*pic_eoi_source)(struct intsrc *);
void (*pic_enable_intr)(struct intsrc *);
int (*pic_vector)(struct intsrc *);
int (*pic_source_pending)(struct intsrc *);
void (*pic_suspend)(struct intsrc *);
void (*pic_resume)(struct intsrc *);
};
系统中所有的中断源组成一个数组，由于当采用I/O APIC作为中断控制器时，
可以有191个中断号(IRQ)，因此该数组大小定义为191。
代码:
static struct intsrc *interrupt_sources[NUM_IO_INTS];
/* With I/O APIC's we can have up to 191 interrupts. */
#define NUM_IO_INTS 191
所谓登记中断源，就是将实际的中断控制器的对应struct intsrc数据结构
添加到该数组中去。同时，系统为每个登记的中断源创建一个中断线程，
中断处理程序就在该线程的上下文中运行，该线程的入口函数为ithread_loop()，
struct intsrc结构成员is_ithread指向描述中断线程的数据结构struct ithd，
而struct ithd结构成员it_td指向真正的线程结构struct thread，从而将中断
与系统的调度单元线程联系起来。
代码:
/*
* Describe an interrupt thread. There is one of these per interrupt vector.
* Note that this actually describes an interrupt source. There may or may
* not be an actual kernel thread attached to a given source.
*/
struct ithd {
struct mtx it_lock;
struct thread *it_td; /* Interrupt process. */
LIST_ENTRY(ithd) it_list; /* All interrupt threads. */
TAILQ_HEAD(, intrhand) it_handlers; /* Interrupt handlers. */
struct ithd *it_interrupted; /* Who we interrupted. */
void (*it_disable)(uintptr_t); /* Enable interrupt source. */
void (*it_enable)(uintptr_t); /* Disable interrupt source. */
void *it_md; /* Hook for MD interrupt code. */
int it_flags; /* Interrupt-specific flags. */
int it_need; /* Needs service. */
uintptr_t it_vector;
char it_name[MAXCOMLEN + 1];
};
/*
* Register a new interrupt source with the global interrupt system.
* The global interrupts need to be disabled when this function is
* called.
*/
