No, I mean interrupts that come from on-chip devices, rather than 
external interrupt pins.

What do you mean, the '1'?

 From table 10-3 of the 8548 manual, the eTSEC1 transmit interrupt is 
internal interrupt 13, or 0xd.  Adding 16 gives 0x1d.

It's (apparently) level-triggered active-high, so the sense is 2, 
according to the table in booting-without-of.txt.

No.
