    description   "
        In eCos the recommended way to handle device interrupts is to
        do a minimum amount of work inside the low level interrupt
        handler itself, and instead do as much as possible in a
        Delayed Service Routine or DSR. If an application does not
        make use of DSRs directly or indirectly then it is possible
        to disable the DSR support completely, which reduces the
        overheads of context switches and interrupt handling. Note
        that the kernel real-time clock makes use of DSRs, as do many
        of the device drivers. "

        description   "
            When DSR support is enabled the kernel must keep track of all
            the DSRs that are pending. This information can be kept in a
            fixed-size table or in a linked list. The list implementation
            requires that the kernel disable interrupts for a very short
            period of time outside interrupt handlers, but there is no
            possibility of a table overflow occurring."

            fixed-size table or in a linked list. The table
            implementation involves a very small risk of overflow at
            run-time if a given interrupt source is able to have more
            than one pending DSR. However it has the advantage that
            the kernel does not need to disable interrupts outside
            interrupt handlers."

            Interrupts can be attached to vectors either singly, or be
            chained together. The latter is necessary if there is no way
            of discovering which device has interrupted without
            inspecting the device itself. It can also reduce the amount
            of RAM needed for interrupt decoding tables and code."
