This patch is not acceptable unless it's done cleaner. Currently we 
already have 3 callbacks in do_page_fault() (kmemcheck, mmiotrace, 
notifier), and this adds a fourth one. Please consolidate them into a 
single callback site, this is a hotpath on x86.

And please always Cc: the x86 maintainers to patches that touch x86 
code.
