I don't think so.

Well, you use user_mode_vm() macro on 9 different places in
grsecurity-2.1.8-2.6.14.6-200601081947 ;-)

Yup, probably. Seems that user_mode_vm() is available only on i386 and
x86_64, according to the sources - so it's probably better to fix those
two [and on x86_64 it's user_mode_vm(regs) == user_mode(regs)]
individually..
