sh: boot kernel with SR.BL set
Update the SH kernel to keep SR.BL set until the VBR register has been initialized. Useful to allow boot of the kernel even though exceptions are pending. Without this patch there is a window of time when exceptions such as NMI are enabled but no exception handlers are installed. This patch modifies both the zImage loader and the actual kernel to boot with BL=1, but the zImage loader is modfied in such a way that the init_sr value is unchanged to not break the zImage loader provided by kexec. Tested on sh7724 Ecovec and on the SH4AL-DSP core included in sh7372. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@opensource.se> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
