Maybe "global hardware pin number" is  not an accurate definition of pin number and
makes people confused.

I will change it to "hardware pin number" to present the real pin number of
wired interrupt(from 0 to maximum interrupt number).

So, there is no global pin number or local pin number.

Thanks!
