    6969* linker section issues: I have undefined symbols for
    70   _bsd__start_set_sysinit_set and _bsd__stop_set_sysinit_set.
     70  `_bsd__start_set_sysinit_set` and `_bsd__stop_set_sysinit_set`.
    7171  Is this the only type of new section magic?  What about the old sysctl_set?
    7272  I added this to my linkcmds.

     84* Why is the interrupt server used?  The BSD interrupt handlers can block on
     85synchronization primitives like mutexes.  This is in contrast to RTEMS
     86interrupt service routines.  The BSPs using the generic interrupt support must
     87implement the `bsp_interrupt_vector_enable()` and
     88`bsp_interrupt_vector_disable()` routines.  They normally enable/disable a
     89particular interrupt source at the interrupt controller.  This can be used to
     90implement the interrupt server.  The interrupt server is a task that wakes-up
     91in case an associated interrupt happens.  The interrupt source is disabled in
     92a generic interrupt handler that wakes-up the interrupt server task.   Once the
     93postponed interrupt processing is performed in the interrupt server the
     94interrupt source is enabled again.
