ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for generating a hardware interrupt to the operating system in response to detecting a presence of the event in the platform. The event is stored in a partition queue associated with a partition firmware in response to the presence of the event. The event is identified in the partition queue, in response to receiving a request to check the hardware interrupt in the partition firmware. The event is processed in response to identifying the event.
