  1 /*P:800 Interrupts (traps) are complicated enough to earn their own file.
  2  * There are three classes of interrupts:
  3  *
  4  * 1) Real hardware interrupts which occur while we're running the Guest,
  5  * 2) Interrupts for virtual devices attached to the Guest, and
  6  * 3) Traps and faults from the Guest.
  7  *
  8  * Real hardware interrupts must be delivered to the Host, not the Guest.
  9  * Virtual interrupts must be delivered to the Guest, but we make them look
 10  * just like real hardware would deliver them.  Traps from the Guest can be set
 11  * up to go directly back into the Guest, but sometimes the Host wants to see
 12  * them first, so we also have a way of "reflecting" them into the Guest as if
 13  * they had been delivered to it directly. :*/
