I don't understand why we need this.

If we apply EX_TYPE_UACCESS consistently to *all* user accesses, and
*only* to user accesses, that would *always* indicate that we can
recover, and that seems much simpler to deal with.

Today we use EX_TYPE_UACCESS_ERR_ZERO for kernel accesses in a couple of
cases, which we should clean up, and we user EX_TYPE_FIXUP for a couple
of user accesses, but those could easily be converted over.

Why x16?

How is this intended to be consumed, and why is that behaviour different
from any *other* fault?
