      [IA64] make exception handler in copy_user more robust · 295bd892

      The exception handler in copy user always expects fault occurs only on
      user space address and the fall back recovery code is written with that
      very assumption in mind.  Recent source code inspection revealed that
      while it worked splendid and to the expectation under normal circumstances,
      It broke down under unexpected condition where some address calculation
      might go outside the legal address range the original copy_user was
      called for.  This patch is to make copy_user exception handler more robust
      and to prevent potential memory corruption.
