Subject: [PATCH 4/9] arm: allow copying of vector table to internal SRAM memory

Based on part of the commit published on Emcraft git repo:

https://github.com/EmcraftSystems/linux-emcraft.git

2ce1841b590d014d8738215fb1ffe05f53c8d9f0 "some commit"

by: Dmitry Cherkassov <d_cherkasov@...raft.com>

The ARM v7M allows setting the vector table either in
the boot memory or in the internal SRAM memory, controlled
by Bit 29 in the Vector Table Base register. This implies
that the OS vector table needs to be copied to the internal RAM.

New option CONFIG_COPY_VECTOR_TABLE_TO_SRAM_ADDR allows specification
of the desired destination for the OS vector table.
