ARM: Separate out access error checking
Since we get notified separately about prefetch aborts, which may be permission faults, we need to check for appropriate access permissions when handling a fault. This patch prepares us for doing this by separating out the access error checking. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
