Symptoms:
	PHKL_24005:
	( SR: 8606157079 CR:JAGad26413)
	System returns Bad address (EFAULT) even when the
	application supplied a valid address.

Defect Description:
	PHKL_24005:
	( SR: 8606157079 CR:JAGad26413)
	The system checks the access rights for the page twice
	before copying a page in memory. The second check is
	done if the page was not already in memory and was
	brought in by a fault. This second check can fail
	under a race condition.
	Resolution:
	The solution is not to check the access rights again if
	the fault is resolved - resolving the fault ensures that
	the page is in memory with proper access rights.
