Under DPMI mode, this is handled by DPMI so all HW interrupts are 
reflected to PM, even if they occur in real mode.  There are some gotchas,
of course, you cannot look at the stack to see where you were executing
when the HW interrupt happened (DPMI handles HW ints on a different stack)
so things like our profiling code do not work.  To be fixed for V2.
