Honestly, I can't decide whether to apply this. It really should never
happen in the kernel, since the kernel can guarantee it won't get the
access rights failure (highest privilege level, and can set %sr and
%protid to whatever it wants.)

It really genuinely is a bug that probably should panic the kernel. The
only precedent I can easily see is x86 fixing up a bad iret with a
general protection fault, which is more or less analogous to code 27
here.

On the other hand, taking the exception on a userspace access really
isn't all that critical, and there's fundamentally little reason for the
kernel not to SIGSEGV the process, and continue...

Argh.

(btw, I've instrumented my do_sys_poll with a pile of assertions that
 %cr8 << 1 == %sr3 == current->mm.context... let's see if where we're
 getting corrupted is deterministic, though, I would guess that it won't
 be.)
