[PATCH] arm: mxs: Clear CPSR V bit to activate low vectors

The MXS starts with CPSR V bit set, which makes the CPU jump to high vectors in case of an exception. Those high vectors are located at 0xffff0000, which is where the BootROM exception table is located as well. U-Boot should handle exceptions on its own using its own exception handling code, which is located at 0x0, i.e. at low vectors. Clear the CPSR V bit, so that the CPU would jump to low vectors on exception instead, and therefore run the U-Boot exception handling code.

Thanks for raising my attention to this older patch, but it breaks exaclty the xea board:
+{standard input}: Assembler messages: +{standard input}:214: Error: selected processor does not support `mrc p15,0,r3,c1,c0,0' in Thumb mode +{standard input}:249: Error: selected processor does not support `mcr p15,0,r3,c1,c0,0' in Thumb mode +{standard input}:157: Error: selected processor does not support `mrc p15,0,r3,c1,c0,0' in Thumb mode +{standard input}:188: Error: selected processor does not support `mcr p15,0,r3,c1,c0,0' in Thumb mode
Can you check it ?
