  interrupt
       
           1. An asynchronous event that suspends normal
          processing and temporarily diverts the flow of control
          through an "{interrupt handler" routine.
       
          Interrupts may be caused by both hardware (I/O, timer,
          machine check) and software (supervisor, system call or
          trap instruction).
       
          In general the computer responds to an interrupt by storing
          the information about the current state of the running
          program; storing information to identify the source of the
          interrupt; and invoking a first-level interrupt handler.
          This is usually a kernel level privileged process that can
          discover the precise cause of the interrupt (e.g. if several
          devices share one interrupt) and what must be done to keep
          operating system tables (such as the process table) updated.
          This first-level handler may then call another handler,
          e.g. one associated with the particular device which generated
          the interrupt.

          because the OS and BIOS routines are both called using the
          INT instruction (see interrupt list) and because programmers
          so often have to bypass the operating system (going directly
          to a BIOS interrupt) to get reasonable performance.
