I think you're talking about

?

If so, instead of skipping, we can fetch the address here.

It's been annoying me for a long time; it causes a dependency on cr2 
which we don't have in real mode (and with FlexPriority), and which is 
broken anyway because cr2 points at the wrong address during a page 
fault on the second page of a misaligned cross-page access.
