Nice series, just starting to have a look at it.

You probably don't want a WARN_ON() here because it's user triggerable
and isn't necessarily even indiciating a problem or attack if the app
is doing code unmapping in order to get faults.

Check some of the other instruction emulation for what to do in case of
an EFAULT.

I guess ILLOPN makes sense. Do you know if any other archs do similar?

Thanks,
