Many xtensa CPU cores without full MMU still have memory protection features capable of raising exceptions for invalid instruction fetches/data access. Allow handling such exceptions. This improves behavior of processes that pass invalid memory pointers to syscalls in noMMU configs: in case of exception the kernel instead of killing the process is now able to return -EINVAL from a syscall. Introduce CONFIG_PFAULT that controls whether protection fault code is enabled and register handlers for common memory protection exceptions when it is enabled.
