Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ARM: nommu: dynamic exception base address setting

No-MMU dynamic exception base address configuration on CP15
processors. In the case of low vectors, decision based on whether
security extensions are enabled & whether remap vectors to RAM
CONFIG option is selected.

For no-MMU without CP15, current default value of 0x0 is retained.
