ARM: 7436/1: Do not map the vectors page as write-through on UP systems
The vectors page has been traditionally mapped as WT on UP systems but this creates a mismatched alias with the directly mapped RAM that is using WB attributes. On newer processors like Cortex-A15 this has implications on the data/instructions coherency at the point of unification (usually L2). This patch removes such restriction.
