[PATCH 3/6] ARM: Fix exception table setup in MMU-less mode

Thu Dec 31 21:58:35 PST 2015


Add code necessary for correct initialization of exception vector
table when MMU is disabled.

Note: Please be aware that non ARMv7 implementation of this
functionality was not fully tested due to the lack of any such
hardware. It should theoretically work, but only testing that I did
was to test place_vector_table() failure path (the best I could do on
a i.MX6)
