Why is it so impossible to have an arbitruary interrupt passed to a userland process, very much like a signal? It would be nice to be able to write device drivers that could open sockets and make data available on the network in an arbitruary way. Since interrupts can be cli() in a userland process I don't see much harm in making them available.
