KERNEL_DS is set to the maximum address (-1UL), so it would be easier to
check against this here and avoid a "mov". Even simpler if you'd check
against bit 63 of the address for KERNEL_DS:

	ldr	x1, [tsk, TSK_TI_ADDR_LIMIT]	// check addr limit change
	tbnz	x1, #63, addr_limit_fail	// KERNEL_DS is -1UL

Same here.

Where is this supposed to return? What is the value of lr when branching
to addr_limit_fail?
