  x86 is now using relative rather than absolute addresses in its
  exception table, so we add a sorter for these. If there are
  relocations on the __ex_table section, they are redundant and probably
  incorrect after the sort, so they are zeroed out leaving them valid
  and consistent.

  Also use the unaligned safe accessors from tools/{be,le}_byteshift.h

  Using this build-time sort saves time booting as we don't have to burn
  cycles sorting the exception table.
