I'll see how I go making generic handlers - I am concerned about the
implementation becoming more complex than it needs to be just to
accommodate potential future changes that could end up having different
requirements anyway, rather than something simple that works today.

Whoops, leftover.  Good catch.

No.  The protection doesn't get left open for handling the exception -
in fact the opposite, the protection gets enforced again on entry. The
PACA flag is to make sure that on exception exit we unlock the AMR on
the way back out during usercopy, without it there is no way of knowing
whether we're supposed to go back to the kernel locked or unlocked.

No, this condition could in theory be hit by another kind of PROTFAULT
hit in the kernel.  I haven't seen that happen, but I should try
checking the address or something.
