I found it in some another vehicle, did the same and it worked.

in my code.
My card's irq number is 9.
I get the error message.Error: suffix or operabds invalid for 'in'
This is the case, if I change the 41 to
0x29or 29h.Where can I get some documentation on using asm?
I use the info file that comes with gcc. In emacs it is ^Hi, then search for gcc. There is also an info program for browsing the info stuff, but I don't use it so don't know much about it.

Yes. But my requirement is to force my code to run in interrupt context.

My requirement is to simulate a PCI based controller and its behaviour in software. I knew the different type of interrupts and the timings my device produces.
I need to simulate this PCI device, its interrupts in sequence and I have to process them in my driver software.
Hope this make sense now.
Anyway, my requrirement is to simulate the interrupts and process them in the interrupt context.

It would be helpful, if anyone could help me how to do it.
My idea is to use task queues and bottom halves for this. But I'd like to get clarified on simulating interrupts (rasing the process/task context to interrupt context) and its consequences.Why simulate the interrupts when you can just program them? On the x86 machine the "int x" instruction generates an interrupt to irq "x"+32. You do need to be in kernel land to do this, but then I assume that is not a problem.
Uh, make that "x"-32, i.e. "int 34" give irq 2.

I'd like to force my kernel module to run at interrupt context at some specific points/time and then come back from interrrupt contex after executing that particular portion of code..
You seem to be over complexifying what interrupt context is. It is simply a generic term for a context that executes on account of an architecture interrupt. One is forced to run in interrupt context in an interrupt handler.
You "run" in interrupt context by calling
request_irqattached to the interrupt line that you are interested in installing a handler for.Quoted 2 lines
Is it possible?
Possibility is undefined here because what you said makes no sense.
