I'd preferably like to get this plugged into the page fault code before
we get to the "bad_area" handling. This plugs it in near the erratum
handling which seems really late to me.

This *seems* really late to me. We've already called into the mm fault
handling code to try and handle the fault and they told us it was
VM_FAULT_SIGBUS. Shouldn't we have just detected that it was in the
vDSO first and not even called the handling code?
