I am indeed hiding a lot of code, but hopefully in order to pinpoint the issue.
This code snippet is taken from the rockbox project http://www.rockbox.org/ ,
precisely from 
http://www.rockbox.org/viewcvs.cgi/firmware/system.c?annotate=1.73
Check lines 652-1019.

This is part of the exception handling on the SH1 target CPU. All exceptions
are
handled in one C handler function, UIE(). However, the only way to get the
exception number on SH1 is checking the called handler address, so all
exceptions that aren't handled by other code are handled by tiny assembler
snippets which just fetch their callee address and pass it to UIE(), which then
checks the address it was called from.
