Why do we need new helpers for this, rather than doing this for *any* uaccess?

I understand this is consistent with PPC & X86, but *why* is it done that way
today? e.g. are there cases where we access memroy where we do not expect the
situation to be recoverable?

If we need this, I'd strongly prefer that we have a EX_TYPE_UACCESS_MC or
EX_TYPE_UACCESS_MC_ERR_ZERO for the uaccess cases, so that we can clearly
distinguish those from non-uaccess cases.

AFAICT the only remaining raw EX_TYPE_FIXUP cases we have today are in some
cache maintenance routines, and we should be able to convert those to a new
EX_TYPE_FIXUP_UACCESS, or EX_TYPE_UACCESS_ERR_ZERO.

This needs more explanation.

Why does this hard-code an assumption that we can alter x0?

Why is the x0 value distinct for SEA or non-SEA? What is this meant to
represent specifically?

What if this SEA was taken for a reason other than a memory error?

I don't think this check belongs here.

Either this should be folded into ex_handler_fixup_mc(), or we should make the
judgement earlier in the fault handling path, and have a separate
fixup_exception_mc() that we can call specifically in the case of a memory
error.

... this isn't using the new EX_TYPE_FIXUP_MC type, so isn't this just broken
as of this patch?

Thanks,
