INT 2Fh API:  DOS Multiplex Interrupt
Windows Release Virtual Machine Time Slice — (AX=1680h)
"
NOTE:
If NPOWER is disconnected, this function is not intercepted.
This function saves power when the system is idle and performs a CPU Idle call
prior to passing on the interrupt.
NPOWER.EXE Multiplex Handle — (AH=54h)
NPOWER is basically implementing a subset of the following function calls.  The
function 547Fh is a new function that is unique to NPOWER.  The following is a
list of the functions implemented by NPOWER.  See the Interrupt Definitions
paragraph in Section 6 for further details.

INT 74h ISR:  Touch Screen Interrupt
This interrupt is intercepted to turn the backlight back on when the global
backlight timer is enabled.  A touchscreen driver must be installed and that
driver must pass the interrupt on to NPOWER rather than handling the EOI.
Interrupts Supported by NORAPM.EXE
The definitions of the 4000 Series interrupts supported by NORAPM.EXE, the
APM BIOS, are identified by the symbolic notation, NORAPM.
"
NOTE:
These interfaces are reserved solely for internal use and application use of these methods
may affect application portability.  Therefore, applications should not use them.
NORAPM.EXEĆsupported APM interrupts are listed in Table 2Ć1.  Note that
NORAPM can be configured with certain switches to ignore specific interrupts.
