For a "simple vectored architecture", the usual approach in RTEMS is to implement some "set_vector()" function that will install a function pointer in the IRQ table. This function pointer will either be called in "rtems" mode via trampoline code (ISR_Handler) that sets up a safe C environment, or will be called directly in "raw" mode and is responsible to avoid trashing the preempted stack.
For the few interrupt handlers that are provided by the BSP and can fit in 64 instructions (256 bytes / 4 bytes per insn) you can just write directly in the IRQ table. I don't know if there are examples in RTEMS of an API for doing so. Normally, a user just wants to install an IRQ in "rtems" mode, since that will provide safe access to some RTEMS directives and gives a usable C program stack.
