I think you should mention that CWSDPR0 and PMODE/DJ handle hardware interrupts
different than "normal" DPMI host, i.e. with less overhead. Both are ring 0
hosts which means a) the user protected mode interrupt gets stored in the 
physical IDT and b) there might be no stack swapping on interrupts. ('Might'
because the interrupt may get called either from the CPU via IDT, or by the
real mode wrapper of the DPMI host for that interrupt)

forgive my english...
