I guess we need to speculate about future uses and possible future
changes of this stuff.  It would make about as much sense to have
something smaller api-wise:

a single test function
   function vm_fault_class_p(fault_number:long, class:string)
and a variable that lists available classes
   global vm_fault_classes:string []

... or else to have code that converts the old style enums to new
style bit masks in some tapset variable.
