Starting with a patch from Andy Lutomirski <l...@amacapital.net>
that used linker relocation trickery to free up a couple of bits
in the "fixup" field of the exception table (and generalized the
uaccess_err hack to use one of the classes).
This patch allocates another one of the classes to provide
a mechanism to provide the fault number to the fixup code
in %rax.
Still one free class for the next brilliant idea. If more are
needed it should be possible to squeeze another bit or three
extending the same technique.

+ * An exception table entry is 64 bits. The first 32 bits are the offset
+ * from that entry to the potentially faulting instruction. sortextable
+ * relies on that exact encoding. The second 32 bits encode the fault
+ * handler address.
+ *
+ * We want to stick two extra bits of handler class into the fault handler
+ * address. All of these are generated by relocations, so we can only
+ * rely on addition.
+ *
+ * The offset to the fixup is signed, and we're trying to use the high
+ * bits for a different purpose. In C, we could just do:
+ *
+ * u32 class_and_offset = ((target - here) & 0x3fffffff) | class;
+ *
+ * Then, to decode it, we'd mask off the class and sign-extend to recover
+ * the offset.
+ *
+ * In asm, we can't do that, because this all gets laundered through the
+ * linker, and there's no relocation type that supports this chicanery.
+ * Instead we cheat a bit. We first add a large number to the offset
+ * (0x20000000). The result is still nominally signed, but now it's
+ * always positive, and the two high bits are always clear. We can then
+ * set high bits by ordinary addition or subtraction instead of using
+ * bitwise operations. As far as the linker is concerned, all we're
+ * doing is adding a large constant to the difference between here (".")
+ * and the target, and that's a valid relocation type.
+ *
+ * We therefore emit:
+ * (target - here) + (class) + 0x20000000
+ *
+ * This has the property that the two high bits are the class (see
+ * ex_class().
+ *
+ * To get the offset back we just mask off the class bits and subtract
+ * 0x20000000. See ex_fixup_addr().
