+/*
+ * Linux IRQ vector layout.
+ *
+ * There are 256 IDT entries (per CPU - each entry is 8 bytes) which can
+ * be defined by Linux. They are used as a jump table by the CPU when a
+ * given vector is triggered - by a CPU-external, CPU-internal or
+ * software-triggered event.
+ *
+ * Linux sets the kernel code address each entry jumps to early during
+ * bootup, and never changes them. This is the general layout of the
+ * IDT entries:
+ *
+ * Vectors 0 ... 31 : system traps and exceptions - hardcoded events
+ * Vectors 32 ... 127 : device interrupts
+ * Vector 128 : legacy int80 syscall interface
+ * Vectors 129 ... 237 : device interrupts
+ * Vectors 238 ... 255 : special interrupts
+ *
+ * 64-bit x86 has per CPU IDT tables, 32-bit has one shared IDT table.
+ *
+ * This file enumerates the exact layout of them:
