Ditto. The fault handler / sigsegv code still seems a little bit unfortunate
(if it can't be improved then maybe it can at least be ifdef'ed), however I
hadn't seen the patchset since it had been using some weird pte encoding
conventions. Now that it is using a more formal encoding and its own not
present bit, that part of it looks much cleaner.
