Save space in Bootloader with exception handlers
The exception handlers save and restore the register used to save the
exception address. The Bootloader does not need to preserve all
registers when an exception occurs and can remove two assembly
instructions per exception. It will use gpr17 to save the exception
address, since that register is less used in Bootloader than gpr1.
