Subject: [PATCH v8 3/4] arm/syscalls: Optimize address limit check

Disable the generic address limit check in favor of an architecture
specific optimized implementation.

The address limit is checked on each syscall return path to user-mode
path as well as the irq user-mode return function. If the address limit
was changed, a generic handler is called to stop the kernel on an
explicit check.
