Let's face it, the way you use vectored interrupts makes zero sense
already. The whole point of vectored interrupts is that the CPU can
branch to the handler directly, making the interrupt handling cheaper
as there should be no additional decoding and you can run the final
handler immediately. Here, all your interrupts point to the same
"default handler"...
What do vectored interrupts bring? "Absolutely Nothing! (say it again!)"
