As of now there's two mechanisms for setting up interrupt
handlers. The lower-level one is pretty much exactly the setting of
the vector in the CPU's handler table (I forget the name). They are
now all being set to the default interrupt trampoline, which
implements the second configuration level: The calling of any lisp
function, as specified by the "exception-handler" accessor.

I don't quite understand what you mean by this?
