These registers generate a VMEbus interrupt acknowledge cycle when they are read from a
MXIbus device.

Interrupt Acknowledge Status/ID
Reading from these registers generates an interrupt acknowledge
cycle on the VMEbus and returns the Status/ID value from the
interrupt acknowledge cycle.  These registers can be used to handle
interrupts across the MXIbus.  Each VMEbus IRQ line has a
separate interrupt acknowledge register, as shown above in the
VXIbus Address.  The value returned when these registers are read
by a VMEbus device is hex FFFF.
