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.

Same here.

Remove unneeded lower checks

sys/arm64/arm64/trap.c

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.
