This should be an entirely separate patch; if nothing else you need to
explain it in the comments.
Also, you say this is for "x86", but I still don't see any code for i386
whatsoever. Have you verified *all* the i386 and i386-compat paths to
make sure they go via prepare_exit_to_usermode()? [Cc: Andy]
Finally, I can't really believe I'm the only person for whom "Specific
usage of verity_pre_usermode_state" is completely opaque.
