If you just want to omit some unnescessary technical details, maybe, you should rather just say "for technical reasons" instead? P.S. Just for that case if an author of this chapter didn't know why it happens that way: "IRQ 2 - Cascaded signals from IRQs 8-15. A device configured to use IRQ 2 will actually be using IRQ 9" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt_request
