Subject: [RFC][PATCH 4/12] x86: introduce copy_in_user() for 32-bit

From: Takuya Yoshikawa <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 22:02:09 +0900

During the work of KVM's dirty page logging optimization, we encountered
the need of copy_in_user() for 32-bit x86 and ppc: these will be used for
manipulating dirty bitmaps in user space.

So we implement copy_in_user() for 32-bit with existing generic copy user
helpers.
