Hmm, I think that jhb@ somewhat misguided your. For kernel-mode faults
on i386, GPF and Segment not Present faults both results in calling
of pcb_onfault handler. This is true for both STABLE and CURRENT.

And this is true for amd64 as well.

Look at the code at the <arch>/<arch>/trap.c, for arch in i386, amd64.
