I cannot decide if PIO will be used or not, since for SCSI devices (for
example) I don't think there is a PIO mode... I also would prefer not to
depend on the configuration of the BIOS. Unless you have an idea about how
to enforce PIO mode from the driver?

Although I see how to write an interrupt handler, I don't see how to pass
the catched interrupt back to the BIOS. Do I need to read some sort of
interrupt table in the BIOS?
