MPC8xx exception handling (or is somebody using 4.5 with MPC8xx)

[HongSong Li]

Hi,
Check the file "vectors.S" located at
"rtems-4.5.0-beta3/c/src/lib/libcpu/powerpc/mpc860"
directory for detail. It already includes external interrupt and further CPM
interrupt
handling routines. But CPM interrupt handler is hard-coded at PPC_IRQ_LVL1
which requires
BSP to conform with it(see comments in source code). All the codes will be
linked to .vectors
section which defined in "link_cmds" file so as to catch up exceptions.
