   https://wiki.osdev.org/Interrupts it has "8-15 	Default mapping of IRQ0-7 by

   bit?  Do I need to manipulate    
   things to get IRQ4 INT 0Ch working for 16-bit?   
      
   old 16 bit hardware had jumpers on COM/LPT add-on boards for setup IRQ-   
   number and CS aka I/O address.   
   modern stuff have this all emulated in the south-bridge (in the chip-set   
   on main board) and may or may not allow modification of their defaults.   
      
   how much do you already know about IRQ-redirection ?   
      
   it depends on your hardware if you need to modify anything.   
      
   and what are you trying to achieve with IRQ4 ?   
   is there any COM-port connected to it at all ? my PC don't have any.
