I'd like to pull this in for the release.  I'd also really like someone
else to ack or otherwise comment on this (and why this is more right
than not just relocating the vectors as v1 did, I see both boot to a
U-Boot prompt but shouldn't we do a bit more testing to confirm that we
don't need to relocate these exception vectors or have we now introduced
some subtle breakage (or perhaps not so subtle once you hit it) in these
cases?  Thanks!
