In entry.S we have two comments which distinguish EL0 and EL1 exception
handlers, but the code isn't actually laid out this way, and there are a
few other inconsitencies that would be good to clear up.
Typo: inconsitencies

This patch organizes the entry handers consistently:

* The handlers are laid out in order of the vectors, to make them easier
  to navigate.

* All handlers are given the same alignment, which was previously
  applied inconsitently.
It's that word again.

Anyway, why is this alignment needed in the first place?
The alignemnt isn't functionally necessary. It's been there since day 1,
in commit:

  60ffc30d5652810d ("arm64: Exception handling")

I'm happy to have them or delete them; I just need to make this
consistent for when this gets templated.

Thanks,
Mark.
