We could, but do we really want to add that to the hot path
for page faults, when segfaults are so rare?

I suspect the simple patch I sent will be good enough to
identify a bad CPU, even if only 3 out of 4 userspace crashes
get attributed to the right CPU...

I would be happy to write a patch that does what you want
though, so you can compare them side by side :)
