31.7.1.5.6. IRQ Interface
When the Prefetcher is enabled, IRQ generation no longer outputs from the dispatcher’s core. It will be outputted from the Prefetcher core. The sources of the interrupt remain the same which are transfer completion, early termination, and error detection. Masking bits for each of the interrupt sources are programmed in the descriptor. This information will be passed to the Prefetcher core through the ST response interface. An equivalent global interrupt enable mask and IRQ status bit which are defined in dispatcher core are now defined in the Prefetcher core as well. These two bits need to be defined in the Prefetcher core since the actual IRQ register is now located in the Prefetcher core.
