Well, I was just suggesting to change the name of the macros, because i got
confused.
What make  CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_RTC more platform neutral than say
CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_UART0 and the others ? 

When I started my port, I listed my interrupt vectors and called them
CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_xxx, and one of them is for an hardware Clock so i just
named it CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_RTC. And then everything compiled fine and
redboot runs, i didnt realized that CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_RTC was more
special than the other CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_xxx until i tried to do
multitasking.  

So thats why i'm suggestion another name like CYGNUM_KERNEL_RTC_VECTOR (or
whatever is judged appropriate) maybe change the other names to
CYGNUM_HAL_myarch_INTERRUPT_xxx (but they are many more)... 

But It's not that important...
