Hmm, I think this is "dangerous". has_vector() is used across the kernel
now in several places for the in-kernel vector. I don't think that
has_vector() should return true for the T-Head stuff given that &
has_vector() should represent the ratified spec. I'll have to think
about this one and how nasty this makes any of the save/restore code
etc.
