Also, how do you find out if it was a read or a write (or even exec)
access?
I don't know if there is an easy way. The `sc_error' member of the
sigcontext is set to the error code that is generated by the Mach
kernel in association with the fault.
The KERN_WRITE_PROTECTION_FAILURE error code looks promising. The
comment in <mach/kern_return.h> suggests that you can set
VM_PROT_NOTIFY for the pages you're interested in such that this error
code will be returned when you write to those pages. But I'm not sure
this really works.
