Is the other vmalloc shadow not covered by the ordinary on-demand faulting?

When I implemented VMAP_STACK for ARM, I added an explicit load from
the new stack while still running from the old one (in __switch_to) so
that the ordinary faulting code can deal with it. Couldn't we do the
same for the vmalloc shadow of the new stack?
