Maybe we can make a new issue for this, but we should be able to choose which IRQ we are sending EOI to. We already have to send a data value anyway to actually end the interrupt, so we can just send the data value 0-255 of which interrupt we want to stop.

#51

Because it takes an hour to run the simulation, we need a way to run these device drivers without having to load the entire thing from the sd card.

If possible, can we run the drivers bare metal in the ROM, instead of them being in RAM?
