The programs also test user delivered exceptions, so it is not a good
idea to disable them entirely. There is already a rather nasty ifndef at
the start of the tests for the ARM PID target which disables the
hardware exception test. It would probably be more sensible to extend
that test to also include the NIOS2. Not nice, but given how rare
non-excepting hardware is, probably the least impact solution.
