On some controllers you can trigger every interrupt vector by software. 
On some you you can only trigger a subset. On some systems, some 
interrupt vectors are not available and cannot be triggered at all, e.g. 
chip variant A supports hardware modules M0, M1, and M2, variant B 
supports only M0, so the vectors used by M1 and M2 are not used (disabled).
