Half of the other do_*() functions in this file read the signo and code from the
fault_info table.

addr here was read from FAR_EL1, but for some of the classes of exception you
have listed below this register isn't updated with the faulting address.
The ARM-ARM version 'k' in D1.10.5 "Summary of registers on faults taken to an
Exception level that is using Aarch64" has:

This is a problem if we get 'synchronous external abort' or 'synchronous parity
error' while a user space process was running.
