Does this mean that userspace can't reliably distinguish between a SIGBUS due to a vm_fault() failure and a SIGBUS due to an external abort?

No need to test !lower now.

Remove unneeded lower checks

The app gets the fault address from FAR, which should be enough for it to understand the specific mapping that caused the trap.

In other words, I think that there is no need for additional arch-specific BUS_XXX code for this situation.
