[OpenBIOS] [PATCH] arch/ppc/qemu: Moved exception handlers from beginning of RAM

Do not put exception handler routines between 0x00-0xff as some OSes
use this area for their own purposes and can corrupt them. (In
particular MorphOS writes to 0x80 during boot). This patch frees up
this area by moving the routines that were there higher.

This replaces my previous attempt (Use exception vectors from ROM
instead of copying them to page zero) as that relied on the MSR[IP]
bit that was found not to be generally available.
