BTW, even if not used into the bootloader, interrupt vector are initialized 
by u-boot (take a look at cpu/s3c44b0/start.S)

Something is still not clear to me... could you please tell me where I can 
find some example of such code (or where this initialization is explained 
into the ARM or Samsung manual)? Thanks.
