The VID_Hw_Int_Proc procedure handles hardware interrupts for a virtual
device. The system calls the procedure whenever a hardware interrupt occurs.
Typically, VID_Hw_Int_Proc services the physical device, calls the
VPICD_Phys_EOI service to end the physical interrupt, and sets the virtual
IRQ request for a specific virtual machine.
 
The system disables interrupts before calling this procedure. The procedure
can re-enable interrupts if necessary.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
IRQHand    Specifies the handle identifying the interrupt request.
 
VMId       Specifies the handle identifying the current virtual machine.
 
Return Value
 
The procedure clears the carry flag if it processed the interrupt. If the
IRQ is sharable, the procedure can direct the system to pass the interrupt
to the next handler by setting the carry flag. In this case, it must not
process the interrupt.
 
Comments
 
The VMM services the procedure is allowed to call is limited. If processing
the interrupt requires use of restricted services, this procedure should use
the Schedule_Call_Global_Event service to schedule an event that performs
the additional processing.
 
This procedure may modify EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX, ESI, and Flags.
 
This procedure must return using the ret instruction, not an iret
instruction.
