This is probably unhelpful advice in this case. Interrupt
stuff (by either method) is highly implementation
dependent. What interrupts your implementation supports,
what they are called, and whether they are available by
one or other or both of the methods is entirely up to the
implementation. So the better advice is to consult your
vendor and/or the vendor documentation on this issue.
