I thought X86_PF_USER was set based on the mode in which the fault
occurred.  Does this mean that the architecture of this bit is different
now?

That seems like something we need to call out if so.  It also means we
need to update the SDM because some of the text is wrong.

This needs commenting about why is_wruss() is special.
