Are there any edge triggered interrupts that aren't hooked up to an edge triggered interrupt pin (like a pin on an 8259A that is set to be edge triggered in the ELCR)?

It's a perfectly fine optimization for machines where level interrupts are shared and so I'd rather think about this and not just throw it out. So what happens when you stick a pccard in a PCI bridge whose upstream interrupt is a level-triggered PCI interrupt. Is the interrupt that the OS sees edge or level? -- John Baldwin
