I wonder if this would be better structured as:

	if (addr < TASK_SIZE)
		/* TTBR0 */
	else if (addr >= VA_START)
		/* TTBR1 */
	else
		/* no man's land */

what do you think?

Now that you're not passing the mm, __do_kernel_fault doesn't need it
for anything so there's further cleanup you can do here.

Similar thing here: I don't think the mm local variable is used anymore.
Does GCC not warn about this?
