From: Sam Tebbs <sam.tebbs@arm.com>

Extend fixup_exception() to optionally place the faulting address in a
register when returning to a fixup handler. Since A64 instructions must
be 4-byte-aligned, we can mimic the IA-64 implementation and encode a
flag in the lower bits of the offset field to indicate handlers which
expect an address. This will allow us to use more efficient offset
addressing modes in usercopy routines, rather than updating the base
register on every access just for the sake of inferring where a fault
occurred in order to compute the return value upon failure.

The choice of x15 is somewhat arbitrary, but with the consideration that
as the highest-numbered temporary register with no possible 'special'
role in the ABI, it is most likely not used by hand-written assembly
code, and thus a minimally-invasive option for imported routines.
