In the simplest way the Linux kernel must do following thing when an `I/O` interrupt occurred:
 
 * Save the value of an `IRQ` and the register's contents on the kernel stack;
 * Send an acknowledgment to the hardware controller which is servicing the `IRQ` line;
 * Execute the interrupt service routine (next we will call it `ISR`) which is associated with the device;
 * Restore registers and return from an interrupt;
