i've a question concerning the two different types of interrupt 
handler: fastintr and slowintr. i've looked at the code in vector.s, 
and somewhat understands what both do. i've also gathered from sio.c
that comm port 1 & 2 uses fastintr. my question is:

- is it safe to use fastintr for keyboard?

thanks
