I don't know how to get the 'page fault' trap for a 'valid' user
page on all systems that wine might run on.  Certainly the assumption
that (KERNEL_BASE - 0x10000) is available is probably false...

However you don't actually need a valid user address, a kernel
address (ie one that is always invalid) will do.
Catching SIGSEGV might be enough - but I'm not totally
certain how you can get the value back into the main
process context (emulate the instruction and modify the
saved program counter ????)
