The patch contains the exception entry code (kernel/entry.S), pt_regs
structure and related accessors, undefined instruction trapping and
stack tracing.

AArch64 Linux kernel (including kernel threads) runs in EL1 mode using
the SP1 stack. The vectors don't have a fixed address, only alignment
(2^11) requirements.

AArch64 Linux kernel. This is subject to change following the work on
boot standardisation, ACPI.
