Unless the user space process is running in 64-bit mode this value
should be & 0xffff.  I'm not sure if we should even support fixing up
UMIP instructions in 64-bit mode.

Also, please put an explicit /* fall through */ here.

Again, could we simply do:

	if (user_64bit_mode(regs))
		return false;

or are there known users of these instructions *in 64-bit mode*?
