I would do fixup_umip_exception(regs) == 0 to make it more obvious what's going on.
Also, since you're allowing this in v8086 mode, I think this should have an explicit test in tools/testing/selftests/x86/entry_from_vm86.c. I *think* it will work fine, but the pt_regs handling in vm86 mode is quite scary and has been rewritten recently.
