I thought that the linux kernel prevents programs from accessing
interrupts directly unless you're kernel-level things like device
drivers, kernel hacking, and whatnot.  Unless that's what you're
doing, you're better off learning how to use Linux system calls, or
even better the higher-level facilities available in languages like
Perl or C.
