 #ifdef HIGH_EXCEPTION_VECTORS
-/** Activates use of high exception vectors addresses.
- *
- * "High vectors were introduced into some implementations of ARMv4 and are
- * required in ARMv6 implementations. High vectors allow the exception vector
- * locations to be moved from their normal address range 0x00000000-0x0000001C
- * at the bottom of the 32-bit address space, to an alternative address range
- * 0xFFFF0000-0xFFFF001C near the top of the address space. These alternative
- * locations are known as the high vectors.
- *
- * Prior to ARMv6, it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether the high vectors are
- * supported. When they are, a hardware configuration input selects whether
- * the normal vectors or the high vectors are to be used from
- * reset." ARM Architecture Reference Manual A2.6.11 (p. 64 in the PDF).
- *
- * ARM920T (gta02) TRM A2.3.5 (PDF p. 36) and ARM926EJ-S (icp) 2.3.2 (PDF p. 42)
- * say that armv4 an armv5 chips that we support implement this.
