You didn't actually build this, did you? Or did you ignore the extra
noinstr warnings?

Maybe I'm justnot understanding things, but what's wrong with something
like the below; why do we care about the ex-type if we know its a MOV
reading from userspace?

The less we muck about with the extable here, the better.
