Looks good to me.

I know Stuart had some mis-givings about merging ahead of EU debugger 
support.  But you are not adding the scratch feature per se, it's 
already in the uAPI.  You are just extending it to support fault mode.
Patch is small, so to me, there's enough justification to go ahead
and get this merged now.
