You can find this check within the Linux kernel source code related to interrupt setup (e.g. The `set_intr_gate`, `void set_system_intr_gate` in [arch/x86/include/asm/desc.h](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/16f73eb02d7e1765ccab3d2018e0bd98eb93d973/arch/x86/include/asm/desc.h)). The first 32 vector numbers from `0` to `31` are reserved by the processor and used for the processing of architecture-defined exceptions and interrupts. You can find the table with the description of these vector numbers in the second part of the Linux kernel initialization process - [Early interrupt and exception handling](https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/Initialization/linux-initialization-2.html). Vector numbers from `32` to `255` are designated as user-defined interrupts and are not reserved by the processor. These interrupts are generally assigned to external I/O devices to enable those devices to send interrupts to the processor.

These interrupts are generally assigned to external I/O devices to enable those devices to send interrupts to the processor.
Now let's talk about the types of interrupts. Broadly speaking, we can split interrupts into 2 major classes:
