Relating rtems_symbolic_irq_name to vector number

[till]

Ha ha - welcome on board.

Didn't you happen to follow the IRQ API discussion that has been going 
on for weeks now?
It started with my harmless proposal to add an ISR argument...

For the moment, you have to live with what's there. I strongly 
discourage you from
hacking the vectoring code (for sake of compatibility). You must go the 
bitter route of
creating wrappers for each different vector. (Or you can use the same 
ISR multiple
times. The ISR has to query all devices to find the IRQ source).
