... and __user case would be pretty much this with
	if (user_access_begin(from, count)) {
		....
		user_access_end();
	}
wrapped around the damn thing - again, see strnlen_user.c, with
	unsafe_get_user(v, p++, efault);
instead of those
	v = *p++;

Calling conventions might need some thinking - it might be
	* all read, all zeroes
	* non-zero found
	* read failed
so we probably want to map the "all zeroes" case to 0,
"read failed" to -EFAULT and "non-zero found" to something
else.  Might be positive, might be some other -E.... - not
sure if E2BIG (or EFBIG) makes much sense here.  Need to
look at the users...
