s/zerored/zero/, right?

'Funny' that, copy_struct_from_user() below seems to use E2BIG.

Not documented above. Implementation consistent with *from*, but see

Documented above as returning -E2BIG.

Isn't that too big for on-stack?

The perf implementation uses get_user(); but if that is too slow, surely
we can do something with uaccess_try() here?

And personally I'm not a big fan of EXPORT_SYMBOL().
