From what I remember, the UX bit is fixed set. I have made the machine
print a '*' (no, I didn't use printk, but since it's my own console
driver I'm pretty sure it can work in interrupts - all it does is
hardware writes) whenever it gets a TLB refill and flushed the TLB before
entering usermode. Guess what, I didn't get a single '*' after ERET. To
verify my method, I've made a single read from the usermode PC from the
kernel, and the '*' appeared. I don't know what's up.
