Atom-based CPUs trigger stack fault when invoke 32-bit SYSENTER instruction
with invalid register values. So we also need SIGBUS handling in this case.
Following is assembly when the fault exception happens.
(gdb) disassemble $eip
Dump of assembler code for function __kernel_vsyscall:
0xf7fd8fe0 <+0>: push %ecx
0xf7fd8fe1 <+1>: push %edx
0xf7fd8fe2 <+2>: push %ebp
0xf7fd8fe3 <+3>: mov %esp,%ebp
0xf7fd8fe5 <+5>: sysenter
0xf7fd8fe7 <+7>: int $0x80
=> 0xf7fd8fe9 <+9>: pop %ebp
0xf7fd8fea <+10>: pop %edx
0xf7fd8feb <+11>: pop %ecx
0xf7fd8fec <+12>: ret
End of assembler dump.
According to Intel SDM, this could also be a Stack Segment Fault(#SS, 12),
except a normal Page Fault(#PF, 14). Especially, in section 6.9 of Vol.3A,
both stack and page faults are within the 10th(lowest priority) class, and
as it said, "exceptions within each class are implementation-dependent and
may vary from processor to processor". It's expected for processors like
Intel Atom to trigger stack fault(SIGBUS), while we get page fault(SIGSEGV)
from common Core processors.

This test passes on 4.0 and fails on some newer kernels.
Fortunately, the failure is likely not a big deal.
This test will make sure that we don't break it further (e.g. OOPSing)
as we clean up the entry code and that we eventually fix the
regression.
There's arguably no need to preserve the old ABI here --
anything that makes it into a fast (vDSO) syscall with a bad
stack is about to crash no matter what we do.
