Hi all,

With the troublesome copy_in_user() now long gone, it's finally time for
some less-worse usercopy routines! Beyond just improving on the mangled
old code, this is also spurred on by Mark's ongoing work on exception
handling, off the back of which we had some ideas around making uaccess
fixups neater. Those can be explored in due course, but getting the last
of the old cruft out of the way first should help make it easier. For
now I've held off on clever macro stuff and stuck with hand-rolled
labels and explicit annotations which do bump the line count up a fair
bit, but in the hope of keeping the code itself more readable for
review.

Thanks,
Robin.
