Re: x86_64 segfault error codes

[Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>]

FWIW I converted the magic numbers now to defines in the source
and deleted the comment (since kernel source is no replacement
for an architecture manual) 

-Andi

Review welcome. I think I didn't do any mistakes though
and the result at least boots.


Convert page fault error codes to symbolic constants.

Much better to deal with these than with the magic numbers.

And remove the comment describing the bits - kernel source
is no replacement for an architecture manual.
