Hi,

I hit a case where copy_to_kernel_nofault() will fault (lol): if the
destination address is in userspace and x86 Supervisor Mode Access
Prevention is enabled. Patch 2 has the details and the fix. Patch 1
renames a helper function so that its use in patch 2 makes more sense.
If the rename is too intrusive, I can drop it.

Thanks,
Omar
