I found that it's useful to add some printing here, just as ARM
does. I carry this patch on my kernel:

+               printk(KERN_INFO "%s: unhandled page fault (%d) at 0x%08lx, cause %ld\n",
+                      current->comm, SIGSEGV, address, cause);
+               show_regs(regs);

Do you think we could do something like it? Maybe with a compile time option?
