That's an odd statement. We do require interrupts when the hardware
requires them. We do not require interrupts, not because we have such
policy, but because hardware does not require them.

Plus, we do require interrupts when software implementing ABI requires
them.

Above commit msg is simply inaccurate and misleading. Instead, please
use actual hardware arguments or how ABI is actually used. You must not
introduce changes to ABI just "because" while for example making that
ABI conflicting with existing implementation.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
