Abort some questions of arm interrupt

Note: This was originally posted on 20th June 2008 at http://forums.arm.com

I try to understand arm interrupt,there are some questions I don't know,
1.   Why the nested interrupt has to switch out of irq mode to svc mode? I think it only pushes the r14_irq into the irq stack.
   2.    The basic difference between a reentrant interrupt handler and a nested interrupt han-dler is that the interrupts are reenabled early on in the reentrant interrupt handler, which can reduce interrupt latency.
    I can't understand that ?

   thanks!

Is that re-entrancy, though? It requires you to finish the service of the original interrupt and return to a lower-priority context. That sounds like interrupt chaining to me.
