5.1. Interrupt Pending Bits
The current status of the interrupt source pending bits in the PLIC core can be read from the pending array, organized as 32-bit register. The pending bit for interrupt ID N is stored in bit (N mod 32) of word (N/32). Bit 0 of word 0, which represents the non-existent interrupt source 0, is hardwired to zero.
A pending bit in the PLIC core can be cleared by setting the associated enable
bit then performing a claim.
The base address of Interrupt Pending Bits block within PLIC Memory Map region is fixed at 0x001000.
