IRQ 10 requires to set up both the Master and the Slave Interrupt 
Controllers, and send the EOI command to both of them.  Make sure your 
code does this.

You read these registers of the slave controller by reading port 0Ah.  You
specify what register to read by sending a command (writing) to port 0Ah
before reading it.  A command value of 0Ah selects the IRR, the Interrupt
Request Register, while the value 0Bh selects the ISR, the Interrupt
In-Service Register.
