avr32: Fix lockup after Java stack underflow in user mode

Browse Source 
When using the Java Extension Module hardware, a Java stack underflow or
overflow trap may cause the system to enter an infinite exception loop.
Although there's no kernel support for the Java hardware yet, we need to
be able to recover from this situation and keep the system running.

This patch adds code to detect and fixup this situation in the critical
exception handler and terminate the faulting process. We may have to
rethink how to handle this more gracefully when the necessary kernel
support for hardware-accelerated Java is added.

/*
* AT32AP700x errata:
*
* After a Java stack overflow or underflow trap, any CPU
* memory access may cause erratic behavior. This will happen
* when the four least significant bits of the JOSP system
* register contains any value between 9 and 15 (inclusive).
*
* Possible workarounds:
* - Don't use the Java Extension Module
* - Ensure that the stack overflow and underflow trap
* handlers do not do any memory access or trigger any
* exceptions before the overflow/underflow condition is
* cleared (by incrementing or decrementing the JOSP)
* - Make sure that JOSP does not contain any problematic
* value before doing any exception or interrupt
* processing.
* - Set up a critical exception handler which writes a
* known-to-be-safe value, e.g. 4, to JOSP before doing
* any further processing.
*
* We'll use the last workaround for now since we cannot
* guarantee that user space processes don't use Java mode.
* Non-well-behaving userland will be terminated with extreme
* prejudice.
