[PATCH 2/9] lpc2k: Exception vector handling

Since the LPC2K does not have an MMU (ARM7TDMI based), it expects the vectors to be
stored in on-chip SRAM. However, this moves the vectors too far away from the stubs
page, requiring the vector jumps to be indirect.

Since now VECTOR_BASE is below PHYS_OFFSET, do not try to reserve the vector
page, as it will fail (and prevent the kernel from booting).

Also, commit 247055aa (6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUs) broke
the placement of vectors in the !MMU case, so fix this too.
