A lot of the pre-2000 stuff is documented in Ralf Brown's Interrupt
List, and the associated book "The Undocumented PC".  A lot was
originally documented in various now-out-of-print IBM technical manuals.

RBIL unfortunately hasn't been updated since 2000.  The good news is
that post 2000 there are a lot more formal standards out there, but not
collected in one convenient place like that.
