That's just plain wrong. No instrumentation is allowed before you enter
the exception context.

And this can't be right either, same issue, no instrumentation is
allowed after you leave the exception context.

And this is wrong too; because at this point the handler doesn't run in
_any_ context anymore, certainly not one you can call regular C code

You either get to do what MCE does, or what MCE does. That is, either
use task_work or MCE_USER and have the _user() handler use
irqentry_enter_from_user_mode().
The above is an absolute no-go.
