On Power, the exception vectors must lie at a fixed address, depending on the state of the Alternate Interrupt Location (AIL) field of the Logical Partition Control Register (LPCR). Create a .text.exceptions section in the linker script at an address suitable for AIL=3 plus an accompanying assertion to pave the way for implementing exception support.
