The signal restarting code was placed on the user stack when OABI
compatibility is enabled. Unfortunately, with an EABI NX executable,
this results in an attempt to run code from the non-executable stack,
which segfaults the application.
Fix this by placing the code in the vectors page, along side the
signal return code, and directing the application to that code.

The high page vector (0xFFFF0000) does not supported in nommu mode.
This patch allows the vectors to be 0x00000000 or the begining of DRAM
in nommu mode.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
The signal return path consists of user code provided by the kernel.
Since a syscall is used, it has to be updated to work with EABI.
Noticed by Daniel Jacobowitz.

Move the signal return code into the vector page instead of placing
it on the user mode stack, which will allow us to avoid flushing
the instruction cache on signals, as well as eventually allowing
non-exec stack.
