		^^^^^^^^^^^
For x86_32, this check is important. See commit
6444541671bd821b950dbaafee70d65188198aa6 (Never allow int3 traps
from V8086 mode to enter the kprobes handler) for precise reason why its
user_mode_vm() and not user_mode() for x86_32.

You'll need to make room for this check in the generic macro below...
