Subject: [ 14/69] ARC: Setup Vector Table Base in early boot

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@...opsys.com>

commit 05b016ecf5e7a8c24409d8e9effb5d2ec9107708 upstream.

Otherwise early boot exceptions such as instructions errors due to
configuration mismatch between kernel and hardware go off to la-la land,
as opposed to hitting the handler and panic()'ing properly.
