All exceptions must be taken in microMIPS mode, never in classic
MIPS mode or the kernel falls apart. A few NOP instructions are
used to maintain the correct alignment of microMIPS versions of
the exception vectors.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

This did corrupt register s0 which the caller of self_ipi expects to
be unchanged. This is a kernel bug which will only be triggered with
the compilers which compile __smtc_ipi_replay to use s0 across the
invocation of self_ipi. Gcc 4.1.2 does this, for example.

Make sure that RA on top of interrupt stack is an address of ret_from_irq,
so that dump_stack etc. can trace info interrupted context.
Also this patch fixes except_vec_vi_handler and __smtc_ipi_vector which
seems broken.
