SEA exceptions are often caused by an uncorrected hardware
error, and are handled when data abort and instruction abort
exception classes have specific values for their Fault Status
Code.
When SEA occurs, before killing the process, go through
the handlers registered in the notification list.
Update fault_info[] with specific SEA faults so that the
new SEA handler is used.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my previous review, but please expand the
acronym for strings and comments.

The 'SEA' in this user-string doesn't add anything. Now that these use do_sea()
instead of do_bad(), when they are printed won't it be:

Synchronous External Abort: level 3 SEA (translation table walk) (...) at ....

Thanks,
