Subject: [PATCH 1/2] MIPS: head.S: Always jump to kernel_entry at head of text

Buggy loaders like early version of PMON2000 sometimes ignore
elf_entry and goto start of text directly.

That would help with dealing with these loaders.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] MIPS: Loongso64: select NO_EXCEPT_FILL

Loongson64 load kernel at 0x82000000 and allocate exception vectors
by ebase. So we don't need to reserve space for exception vectors
at head of kernel.
