I have not exactly found out what happens, but it seems FreeBSD masks them
away as pending, and then does them when the priority level is restored.
Still struggling to find the interrupt handlers and what is going on there.
With VMS being the interrupt-driven system it is, we really need to get
going on this "emulated" IPL bit, so we might get on with further scheduling,
ASTs, timing and the rest.
So, who knows PC interrupts well today?
