One selects which interrupt input is outputted on the given interrupt output. It is perfectly valid (but not sane) to select the same interrupt input to be routed to _all_ interrupt output for example. Not sure if we are going to use this for anything but 1:1 mapping, but might worth keeping in mind... - Peter Texas Instruments Finland Oy, Porkkalankatu 22, 00180 Helsinki.
