[PATCH 13/14] powerpc: Enable relocation on during exceptions at boot

From: Ian Munsie <redacted> We currently do this synchronously at boot from setup_arch. On a large system this could hypothetically take a little while to complete, so currently we will give up if we are asked to wait for more than a second in total. If we actually start hitting that timeout in practice we can always move this code into a kernel thread to take care of it in the background.
