I see no reason to make all internal structures from ntoskrnl compatible 
with the M$ one. I'm not sure if the KINTERRUPT structure is public 
documented. The end of the structure looks like a little bit if it was 
extracted from code or from a symbol file. For smp machines we need an 
array of KINTERRUPT structures. IMOH it should be an header with some 
informations (count, the nice ProcessorEnableMask, ..) and an array of 
the real interrupt structures. But in this case the structures for the 
Io- and Ke-functions are different.
