Good post!, just adding a side note.

Traditionally devices connected to higher priority IRQs (which may or may
not be assigned to the lower number slots) get first dibs on the processor. 
Also traditionally (but I doubt it still phisically works this way) thie
interrupt controller was actually 2 interrupt controllers with one slaved
off of the other, a bit like plugging one power strip into another.  This
slaving was off of IRQ2 so the interrupt priority went like this:

0, 1, 2&9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

I don't know if modern interrupt controllers still emulate this behavior for
compatability reasons or not though.
