Please test your patch with the fix below, in this particular case the
TIF_IA32 check should be fine. Although this is not what we really want,
we should probably use user_64bit_mode(regs) which checks ->cs. But this
needs more changes and doesn't solve other problems (get_unmapped_area)
so I still can't decide what should we do right now...
