Since *_nofault()\nfunctions define their own fixup table for handling fault, use that\ninstead of asking kfence to handle such faults.\n\nHence we search the exception tables for the nip which generated the\nfault. If there is an entry then we let the fixup table handler handle the\npage fault by returning an error from within ___do_page_fault().\n\nThis can be easily triggered if someone tries to do dd from
