SUMMARY
The Windows 95 DDK documentation for the VPICD_IRQ_Descriptor structure
lists an element called VID_Hw_Int_Ref that is used for reference data that
the system passes to the hardware interrupt handler. The documentation also
states that the VID_Options bit VPICD_OPT_Ref_Data must be set in order for
the data to be passed to the handler.
The documentation does not mention how the hardware interrupt handler
accesses this reference data. When the handler is called, the edx register
will point to the reference data.
