Yeah, I will improve this comment; it's not clear enough. The places
where I see state copied to/from userspace are all either static sizes
or already use bounce buffers (or both). e.g.:

        err |= __copy_from_user(&hwstate->fpregs, &ufp->fpregs,
                                sizeof(hwstate->fpregs));

I will adjust the commit log and comment to more clearly describe the
lack of whitelisting due to all-static sized copies.

Thanks!
