[3.10][3.8][3.5] ARM: Fix FIQ code on VIVT CPUs (was Re: [PATCH076/133] ARM: update FIQ support for relocation of vectors)

[Kamal Mostafa]

Thanks Aaro.  I'll apply "2ba85e7 ARM: Fix FIQ code on VIVT CPUs" to
3.8-stable.

Greg KH and Luis Henriques:  Heads up!  3.10-stable and 3.5-stable also
need 2ba85e7 but it isn't marked cc: stable.
