Cool. Too bad hardware doesn't give us the RA.

I think you need to check that it's still cacheable memory here?
!pte_speical && pfn <= highest_memmap_pfn?

What recursive faults? If you ensure NIP is cacheable memory, I guess you
can get a recursive machine check from reading it, but that's probably
tolerable.

Instruction may no longer be a load/store at this point, right? Or
instruction or page tables could have changed so this does not point to
a valid pfn of cacheable memory. memory_failure() has some checks, but
I wouldn't mind if you put some checks in here so you can enumerate all
the ways this can go wrong :P

Hopefully after Paulus's instruction analyzer rework you'll be able to
avoid the pt_regs on stack, but that's probably okay for a backport.
MCEs have a lot of stack and don't use too much.

Thanks,
