It was pointed out that the latest submission doesn't have
any comment about what is different.
This version applies Ken's suggestion directly to the original
ivt.S. There is one minor change from Ken's in that I retained
the use of #ifdef CONFIG_PGTABLE_4 where he was using (p9) to
just skip an instruction.
Sorry for the confusion,
Robin
