Instead of checking for a particular SOC, can we introduce a generic
config, something like CONFIG_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_LOW. This way, if other
SOC's have a similar requirement, it won't be needed to keep adding checks
here. It would also help in case this needs to be implemented for other arm
cores, so that we can have a common config option for bypassing this V-bit
clear. Just my suggestion. Maybe Tom and Albert can comment.

I will test your patch series on my hawkboard and let you know the results
tomorrow. Thanks for clubbing it all together.
