Although it seems to work I will not commit it before I (or somebody else?)
can answer these open questions:

- DSI (data access fault): Is it really required to check the DSISR register
  to be able to differentiate between a SEGV_ACCERR or SEGV_MAPERR ksi_code?
  Or can I rely on the return value EACCESS from uvm_fault() instead?

- ISI (instruction access fault): Is EINVAL relevant for instruction access
  faults at all? If yes: does uvm_fault()=ENOMEM happen here as well?
