...instead of manually handling the case where error_code=0, e.g. to
display "[SUPERVISOR] [READ]" instead of "normal kernel read fault".
This makes the zero case consistent with all other messages and also
provides additional information for other error code combinations,
e.g. error_code==1 will display "[PROT] [SUPERVISOR] [READ]" instead
of simply "[PROT]".
Print unique names for the negative cases as opposed to e.g. "[!USER]"
to avoid mixups due to users missing a single "!" character, and to be
more concise for the !INSTR && !WRITE case.
Print "SUPERVISOR" in favor of "KERNEL" to reduce the likelihood that
the message is misinterpreted as a generic kernel/software error and
to be consistent with the SDM's nomenclature.
An alternative to passing a negated error code to err_str_append() would
be to expand err_str_append() to take a second string for the negative
test, but that approach complicates handling the "[READ]" case, which
looks for !INSTR && !WRITE, e.g. it would require an extra call to
err_str_append() and logic in err_str_append() to allow null messages
for both the positive and negative tests. Printing "[INSTR] [READ]"
wouldn't be the end of the world, but a little bit of trickery in the
kernel is a relatively small price to pay in exchange for the ability
to unequivocally know the access type by reading a single word.
Now that all components of the message use the [<code>] format,
explicitly state that it's the error *code* that's being printed and
group the err_str_append() calls by type so that the resulting print
messages are consistent, e.g. the deciphered codes will always be:
[PROT] [USER|SUPERVISOR] [WRITE|INSTR|READ] [RSDV] [PK]
