 //! # Interrupt support
 //!
-//! ## Overview
-//! The `interrupt` driver is a crucial module for ESP chips. Its primary
-//! purpose is to manage and handle interrupts, which are asynchronous events
-//! requiring immediate attention from the CPU. Interrupts are essential in
-//! various applications, such as real-time tasks, I/O communications, and
-//! handling external events like hardware signals.
-//!
-//! The core functionality of the `interrupt` driver revolves around the
-//! management of interrupts. When an interrupt occurs, it temporarily stops the
-//! ongoing CPU operations, saves its current state, and starts executing the
-//! corresponding interrupt service routine (ISR). The interrupt service routine
-//! is a user-defined function that performs the necessary actions to handle the
-//! specific interrupt. Once the ISR is executed, the driver restores the saved
-//! CPU state and resumes normal program execution.
-//!
-//! In scenarios where multiple interrupts may occur simultaneously, the
-//! interrupt driver determines the `priority` of each interrupt. This
-//! prioritization ensures that critical or high-priority tasks are handled
-//! first. It helps prevent delays in time-sensitive applications and allows the
-//! system to allocate resources efficiently. This functionality is provided and
-//! implemented by the `priority` enum.
+//! Interrupt support functionality depends heavily on the features enabled.
 //!
+//! When the `vectored` feature is enabled, the
+//! [`enable`] method will map interrupt to a CPU
+//! interrupt, and handle the `vector`ing to the peripheral interrupt, for
+//! example `UART0`.
+//!
+//! It is also possible, but not recommended, to bind an interrupt directly to a
+//! CPU interrupt. This can offer lower latency, at the cost of more complexity
+//! in the interrupt handler.
+//!
+//! The `vectored` reserves a number of CPU interrupts, which cannot be used see
+//! [`RESERVED_INTERRUPTS`].
