- * Subtle, code in do_timer_interrupt() expects an AEOI
- * mode for the 8259A whenever interrupts are routed
- * through I/O APICs. Also IRQ0 has to be enabled in
- * the 8259A which implies the virtual wire has to be
- * disabled in the local APIC. Finally timer interrupts
- * need to be acknowledged manually in the 8259A for
- * timer_interrupt() and for the i82489DX when using
- * the NMI watchdog.
+ * As IRQ0 is to be enabled in the 8259A, the virtual

+ * timer interrupts need to be acknowledged manually in
+ * the 8259A for the i82489DX when using the NMI
+ * watchdog as that APIC treats NMIs as level-triggered.
+ * The AEOI mode will finish them in the 8259A
+ * automatically.
