[PATCH] Notify page fault call chain for i386
Overloading of page fault notification with the notify_die() has performance
issues(since the only interested components for page fault is kprobes and/or
kdb) and hence this patch introduces the new notifier call chain exclusively
for page fault notifications their by avoiding notifying unnecessary
components in the do_page_fault() code path.
