ioperm is supported in GNU Mach v2, that's what I implemented a year ago (and I think it is in the GNU Mach manual, although I am not sure). GNU Mach v1 pathetically doesn't restrict I/O access at all (we could easily revert that to prevent all I/O access, though). The question of user interrupt handlers: There is an interface, but I don't think it was ever tried in GNU Mach, so I don't know if that works or can be resurrected. In any case user space drivers are only interesting in a more modern microkernel like L4. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
