5.6  Interrupt Control Modes and Interrupt Operation 
The interrupt controller has two modes: interrupt control mode 0 and interrupt control mode 2. 
Interrupt operations differ depending on the interrupt control mode. The interrupt control mode is 
selected by INTCR. Table 5.3 shows the differences between interrupt control mode 0 and 
interrupt control mode 2.
