Now I can confirm (with the adjusted reproducer), that your patch
allows to kill the process with SIGKILL, while without your patch
it's not possibe to kill the process at all.
I've tested with a 32- and 64-bit parisc kernel.

You may add
Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx> # parisc
to the patch.

If you want me to take the patch (with the warning regarding missing msg variable fixed)
through the parisc tree, please let me know.

What message do you prefer there?  It matters only for the case when
we are hitting an oops there, but...

I have no preference on that message. Maybe "Page fault: fault signal on kernel memory"
is too generic, so I'm fine with any better idea/wording you come up with.
