    By itself, this is useless.  It gives us the ability to run some final code
    before exit that cannnot run on the kernel stack.  This could include a CR3
    switch a la PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION or some kernel stack erasing, for
    example.  (Or even weird things like *changing* which kernel stack gets
    used as an ASLR-strengthening mechanism.)
    
    The SYSRET32 path is not covered yet.  It could be in the future or
    we could just ignore it and force the slow path if needed.
