Subject[PATCH 06/11] x86/fault: Improve kernel-executing-user-memory handling
Date
Right now we treat the case of the kernel trying to execute from user
memory more or less just like the kernel getting a page fault on a user
access. In the failure path, we check for erratum #93, try to otherwise
fix up the error, and then oops.

If we manage to jump to the user address space, with or without SMEP, we
should not try to resolve the page fault. This is an error, pure and
simple. Rearrange the code so that we catch this case early, check for
erratum #93, and bail out.
