Just before this we do:
if (address >= TASK_SIZE) return true;
About the error code, I don't know. Can we take a fault that is not a DSISR_PROT_FAULT | DSISR_KEYFAULT and that is not a KUAP fault ?
Previously (before this patch), the error code was taken into account for the call to search_exception_tables(), but has never been for the bad_kuap_fault().
