There are plenty of other places we'll access user pages via a kernel
alias (e.g. when performing IO), so why is this special?

To be clear, I am not entirely averse to this, but it seems like this is
being done because it's easy to do rather than necessarily being all
that useful, and I'm not keen on having to duplicate a bunch of logic
for this.

IIUC the do_mte() portion won't handle mermoy errors, so this isn't
actually going to recover safely.

Thanks,
