Subject: [PATCH v2 12/21] MIPS: Get rid of CONFIG_NO_EXCEPT_FILL

From: Jiaxun Yang <jiaxun.yang@...goat.com>

NO_EXCEPT_FILL is used to indicate platform that does not
need to reserve ebase memory at start of kernel.

This is true for all R2+ platform as they allocate ebase
memory on fly, and also true for any platform that does
not load kernel at start of physical memory.

Get rid this Kconfig symbol by use macro to detect conditions
above.
