        Solaris interrupt handling mechanism to support

        will also support multiple interrupt priority level on 
        the same IRQ and unfixed interrupts at every priority 
        level.

(The document will be posted to community once the proposal is approved.)

How can the proposal be approved if not all interested parties (i.e. 
non-Sun folks) can view the document before approval?
