5.2.12 Hardware Interrupt Clear Register – HW_INT_CLR
The hardware interrupt clear register (HW_INT_CLR) is a write-only register used to 
clear edge-sensitive interrupt requests. See Section D.31 for more information about the 
PALcode restriction concerning this register. Figure 5–19 shows the hardware interrupt

AST Interrupts
For each processor mode, the bit is set if an associated AST 
interrupt is pending. This includes the mode’s ASTER and 
ASTRR bits and whether the processor mode value held in the 
IER_CM register is greater than or equal to the value for the 
mode.
