exception in IVG5 causes double fault ?
-add a "file" option to the async banks to back it
+SIC int forwarding doesn't accurately reflect the hardware. what the sim
+does is:
+ - device generates an interrupt
+ - int is sent to SIC
+ - SIC logs it into its ISR
+ - so long as SIC's IMASK allows it, bits set in ISR generate
+ an interrupt to the CEC
+ - no way to clear the SIC's ISR
+the way the hardware works is that the device monitors the interrupt level and
+the SIC's ISR bits are basically hardwired from each peripheral. so when the
+device has its interrupt cleared, the bit in the SIC's ISR is automatically
+cleared as well.
+perhaps the only way to model this behavior in the sim is to have each device
+set up an event callback that sends out a port event: a level of 0 means the
+int has been ACKed and the SIC can clear its ISR while a level of 1 means the
+int is being generated still. if the device is still generating an interrupt,
+it can reschedule itself again.
+
+insns that cause an interrupt don't seem to be processed at the right time.
+for example, setup a glue device that generates an interrupt upon right.
+when the store insn is executed, the interrupt is taken right away instead
+of being scheduled *after* the insn has finished executing. difference is
+that RETI needs to point to the *next* insn and not the store insn.
tests:
- check AN bits with Dreg subtraction
