No it only covers an obvious case when I was playing around exception_ip 
with kgdb.
There are still potential cases __isa_exception_epc may touch user space.

It is possible to perform exception_ip() without touching user space by 
saving "BadInstr" in pt_regs
at exception entries. For newer hardware it's as simple as saving an 
extra CP0 register, on older hardware
we may have to read it from user space.

+ Thomas (MIPS maintainer), what's your opinion?
