Maybe for errors on the data side of the pipeline. On the instruction
side we can usually recover from user space instruction fetches by
just throwing away the page with the corrupted instructions and reading
from disk into a new page. Then just point the page table to the new
page, and hey presto, its all transparently fixed (modulo time lost fixing
things).
