Exception handlers get overwritten

["Tommy S. Christensen" <tommy.christensen@eicon.com>]

With LOADADDR set to 0x80000000, except_vec0_r4600 and
except_vec0_nevada are overwritten in trap_init() before they
get installed at KSEG0.

The fix is easy:

OK, a kinder fix would be something like:

I wonder why this never hit anybody else ...
