As I've mentioned: that doesn't work for this hardware. It's not just the
memory addresses. You literally quoted the part where I explain this, and
then decided to completely ignore it. I will not explain it again, you
have the explanation once more right in this e-mail. Read it.
Not to mention that you've also ignored that I disagree with rob's
assessment about interrupt-names.
I'm actually done arguing with you, this is going in circles. v4 will not
address any of your concerns, because it's either literally impossible or
because I disagree with your concern and you did not actually address my
disagreement.
