Perhaps a nit:
I am not that familiar with this part, but AFAICT the kernel always sets
RDI/RSI/RDX to exception vector/error code/addr before invoking the user
handler, after the vDSO's exception handler clobbers them.
Since you are adding description to them, should we somehow call this out in
the comment, if I didn't miss anything?
