I think that if we push an argument is should be a (void*) that

will contains several things including the vector number if needed. 
Reason is that multiplexing drivers usually requires additional private 
data and not only the vector number. OK, the vector number can be used 
to access the per driver data but the cost is higher at the end (example 
beeing several ethernet board with different IO location for registers 
access (idem for PCI).

NB : for those how have been working longer on rtems, I submitted a 
patch to the API that Till Strauman is proposing about two years ago for 
i386 :-)

I'm glad to discuss the API changes in more detail if someone wants to 
start a thread.
