We had recently seen a kernel panic when accidently programming QEMU in an
inappropriate way (in short, accessing RD registers before setting the RD
base address. See patch #1 for details). And it looks like we're missing
some basic checking when handling userspace register access.
I've only tested it with QEMU. It'd be appreciated if others can test it
with other user tools.
