None objection because the TRUST_IRQ wasn't mathematically safe (however
that was also stated in the documentation). At the time I developed
TRUST_IRQ I didn't known the 8259 has a broken feature that cause it to
raise the irq 7 when an irq gone away from under it :(. OTOH in real life
conditions TRUST_IRQ was working fine here :).
