A FRED stack frame generated by a ring 3 event should never be messed up, and the first thing we must make sure is that at the time an ERETU instruction is executed, %rsp must have the same address as that when the user level event was just delivered. However we don't want to bother the normal code path of ERETU because it's on the hotest code path, a good choice is to do this check when ERETU faults. Suggested-by: H.
