With pleasure. In rtems 4.8.0:
BSP gen5200/vectors.S, lines about 183;
BSP mpc8260ads/vectors.S, lines about 125; 
	file irq_asm.S lines about 281 & 353;
BSP psim/irq_asm.S, lines about 287 & 338;
BSP mbx8xx/vectors.S, lines about 131;
	file irq_asm.S, lines about 320 & 392.
As the code looks like, it seems that it is simple copy/paste from one source.

Thanks.
