* Why is the interrupt server used? The BSD interrupt handlers can block on
synchronization primitives like mutexes. This is in contrast to RTEMS
interrupt service routines. The BSPs using the generic interrupt support must
implement the `bsp_interrupt_vector_enable()` and
`bsp_interrupt_vector_disable()` routines. They normally enable/disable a
particular interrupt source at the interrupt controller. This can be used to
implement the interrupt server. The interrupt server is a task that wakes-up
in case an associated interrupt happens. The interrupt source is disabled in
a generic interrupt handler that wakes-up the interrupt server task. Once the
postponed interrupt processing is performed in the interrupt server the
interrupt source is enabled again.
