Common Functions of Interrupts

     * Interrupt transfers control to the interrupt service routine generally, through the interrupt vector, which contains the addresses of all the service routines.
    * Interrupt architecture must save the address of the interrupted instruction.
    * Incoming interrupts are disabled while another interrupt is being processed to prevent a lost interrupt.
    * A trap is a software-generated interrupt caused either by an error or a user request.
    * An operating system is interrupt driven.
