SubjectRe: [PATCHv2 2/2] tracing,mm - add kernel pagefault tracepoint for x86 & x86_64

I think the idea is to get more context on oopses. If the event only covers
that the overhead in the common case (minus *_user) is much less,
versus the more generalized points you use.

For tracing the whole page fault me think it's better to have
a generalized exception tracer with a filter on page fault.
