This patch makes the PVR2 VBLANK interrupt on the SEGA Dreamcast
shareable - a small but necessary change to enable ongoing efforts to
develop a driver for the maple bus on the Dreamcast. (Maple is Sega's
proprietary serial interface for the Dreamcast and can be set to
synchronise dma transfers to the VBLANK).

This has no impact on the performance of the PVR2.

sharable implies the interrupt handler checks to see if it actually
caused the interrupt ... which it doesnt at the moment ... presumably,
you're making it shared because another device will be using that
interrupt as well ... so when that other device gets an interrupt, how
do you know it's for that device and not PVR2 ?


If the interrupt occurs then it will be for both of them. The hardware
cannot be removed and the maple bus driver is set for hardware sync.

The question seems redundant to me.
