* Event functions take into account the mask on moment of
function call, not on moment of event arrival.
 
======================================================================
==================== Function 41 - get IRQ owner. ====================
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 41 - function number
* ebx = IRQ number, 0..15
Returned value:
* eax = owner PID
* eax = 0, if there is no owner
* eax = -1 for incorrect ebx
 
======================================================================
================== Function 42 - work with IRQ data. =================
======================================================================
When an IRQ occurs, the system reads data from ports indicated
earlier by function 44 and writes this data to
internal buffer. This function reads out data from that buffer.
 
--------------------- Subfunction 0 - read data ----------------------
Parameters:
* eax = 42 - function number
* bl = IRQ number, 0..15
* bh = 0 - subfunction number
* rest of ebx must be zeroed
* ecx = pointer to a buffer with size not less than 4000 bytes
Returned value: (use value of eax to distinguish)
* if the thread is not IRQ owner
(or IRQ number is incorrect): eax = -1
* if there is no data: eax = 0
* if all is ok:
eax = size of data read (in bytes)
 
------------- Subfunction 1 - get size of data in buffer -------------
Parameters:
* eax = 42 - function number
* bl = IRQ number, 0..15
* bh = 0 - subfunction number
* rest of ebx must be zeroed
Returned value:
* if the thread is not IRQ owner
(or IRQ number is incorrect): eax = -1
* otherwise eax = size of data in buffer
Remarks:
* Previously the thread must reserve indicated IRQ for itself
by function 45.
* The size of data buffer is 4000 bytes, on overflow
"fresh" data cease to be written in the buffer.

processor instructions in/out - this is much
faster and a bit shorter and easier.
 
======================================================================
=========== Function 44 - define operations at IRQ arrival. ==========
======================================================================
At IRQ arrival the system can read the data from ports defined
by this function and write these data to internal buffer, whence
they can be read by ôóíêöèåé 42.
Parameters:
* eax = 44 - function number
* ebx = pointer to the array of structures each describing one port:
* +0: word: 0 means end of array, otherwise port number
* +2: byte: reserved (ignored)
* +3: byte: 1=read byte from this port, 2=read word
* ecx = IRQ number, 0..15
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - success
* eax = 1 - the thread is not owner of selected IRQ
Remarks:
* Previously the thread must reserve for itself selected IRQ
by function 45.
* First 16 ports are considered only.
* The current implementation considers incorrect value of field +3
as a signal to terminate IRQ processing.
 
======================================================================
=================== Function 45 - reserve/free IRQ. ==================
======================================================================
Parameters:
* eax = 45 - function number
* ebx = 0 - reserve, 1 = free
* ecx = IRQ number, 0..15
Returned value:
* eax = 0 - success
* eax = 1 - error (invalid IRQ number
or attempt to reserve not free IRQ
or to free IRQ, not reserved by this thread)
Remarks:
* IRQ reservation is required for functions 42 and 44.
* Only one thread can reserve the specific IRQ.
* IRQs, handled by the system itself, are reserved by the system
(thread 1) at booting.
* When a thread terminates, all reserved by it IRQs
are freed automatically.

To work with reserved ports an application can access directly by
