ARM: poison the vectors page
Fill the empty regions of the vectors page with an exception generating
instruction. This ensures that any inappropriate branch to the vector
page is appropriately trapped, rather than just encountering some code
to execute. (The vectors page was filled with zero before, which
corresponds with the "andeq r0, r0, r0" instruction - a no-op.)
