Concepts you may want to Google beforehand: CPU timer, keyboard interrupts
Goal: Implement our first IRQ handlers: the CPU timer and the keyboard
Everything is now ready to test our hardware interrupts.
Timer
The timer is easy to configure. First we'll declare an init_timer() on cpu/timer.h and
implement it on cpu/timer.c. It is just a matter of computing the clock frequency and
sending the bytes to the appropriate ports.
We will now fix kernel/utils.c int_to_ascii() to print the numbers in the correct order.
For that, we need to implement reverse() and strlen().
Finally, go back to the kernel/kernel.c and do two things. Enable interrupts again
(very important!) and then initialize the timer interrupt.
Go make run and you'll see the clock ticking!
