The unmapped case should have been handled.

I think this issue is that the check for user-mode access added. From
what I read the code may be wrong in

+	if (!user_mode(regs) && addr < TASK_SIZE &&
+			unlikely(!(regs->status & SR_SUM)))
+		die_kernel_fault("access to user memory without uaccess routines",
+				addr, regs);

I think the SR_SUM check might be wrong, as I read the standard the
SR_SUM should be set to disable user-space access. So the check
should be unlikely(regs->status & SR_SUM) to say access without
having disabled the protection.

Without this, you can end up with an infinite loop in the fault handler.
