On the other hand, the device manufacturer does not decree what the arch and
supporting chipset will *accept*. There's no guarantee that all trigger types
will be supported. For instance on my ASB2305 board, I've got an on-chip PIC
that will accept any of the four trigger types, but the PCI bus interrupt line
attached to one of the external interrupt pins will *only* accept low-level
triggered. In such a case, the bus *must* override anything set by one of the
devices.
