Description

So I spend a while figuring out why my interrupts weren't working and it seems like I wasn't the first.

I think cortex_m::asm::bootload should at least mention setting VTOR in its documentation. Maybe it could even implement it directly if a set_vtor paramter is true or something similar

Research direction

Start at the documentation for cortex_m::asm::bootload and read the linked cortex-m-rt pull request for context on vector table relocation and VTOR. Done means the VTOR requirement is clearly documented, or the scope and behavior of any implementation are agreed before changing it.
