Description
It would help people using this library. Also, maybe we could add a higher level function with an enum for
0 – PIC mode
1 – APIC mode
2 – SAPIC mode
See #355. In my OS I was really confused why the AML interpreter was saying eHCI interrupts are [0x0] (and sometimes [0xE]), when it should've returned [0x10].
I will make a PR documenting this and adding a high level function, maybe something called set_interrupt_model_used(interrupt_model: InterruptModelUsed) on the AML interpreter.

Research direction
Start with the AML interpreter API, issue #355, and the ACPI specification's _PIC method. Define the InterruptModelUsed enum and the proposed set_interrupt_model_used entry point, while documenting when _PIC must be called. Done means the behavior and the new high-level API are documented and usable by library consumers.
