Do you mean making system calls in assembly? Or are you talking
about hardware interrupts? For the former, the best you can do
is to read the source (linux/arch/i386/* and include/syscall.h).
I can't remember the registers, but you stick the arguments on
the stack and put the system call number in either ax or dx. Then
make the interrupt. If you're talking about hardware interrupts,
then you've pretty much had it. You don't get to see them.
