[PATCH 0/7] Kernel Userspace Protection for radix

The first three patches of these series are from Christophe's work and are
the bare minimum framework needed to implement the support for radix.

In patch 3, I have removed from Christophe's patch my implementation of
the 64-bit exception handling code, since we don't have an answer for
making nested exceptions work yet.  This is mentioned in the final KUAP
patch.  Regardless, this is still a significant security improvement
and greatly narrows the attack surface.

Here are patches you will want if you want this to work:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1045215/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1045049/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1038568/

(or subsequent revisions, which the latter two will need)

I wouldn't expect this series to be merged without those fixes.

Thanks to Christophe for his great work and to Michael Ellerman for a
ton of feedback as I've worked on this.
