I realize that this is a somewhat arbitrary point in the series to
complain about this, but: the kernel already has infrastructure to
decode and fix up an instruction-based exception.  See
fixup_umip_exception().  Please refactor code so that you can share
the same infrastructure rather than creating an entirely new thing.

FWIW, the fixup_umip_exception() code seems to have much more robust
segment handling than yours :)
