I fail to understand how this is even supposed to work through
relocation: exception vectors are not relocated, so if they work before
relocation, then they won't work any more afterward unless some code is
added to relocate them.

Also: if this patch is moving interrupt_init(), then where is the line
where a call to interrupt_init() is removed?

Amicalement,
