What about "BSP_install_rtems_add_handler" ?

This is what Solaris's DDI uses. See:

  http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/801-6680-9F/6i11r903r?a=view

If shared ints are not supported, only allow one addition and return an error if more 
are made.


Why is BSP_* used ?

Would CPU_* have been a better prefix to use ?

I am not objecting, just tring to keep the growth of new functions for specific cases 
when maybe one could be used.
