[RFC][PATCH 6/12 not tested yet] PPC: introduce copy_in_user() for 32-bit

Prev: [RFC][PATCH 5/12] x86: introduce __set_bit() like function for bitmaps in user space
Next: [PATCH] KEYS: Fix RCU handling in key_gc_keyring()
From: Takuya Yoshikawa on 4 May 2010 09:10 During the work of KVM's dirty page logging optimization, we encountered the need of copy_in_user() for 32-bit ppc and x86: these will be used for manipulating dirty bitmaps in user space. So we implement copy_in_user() for 32-bit with __copy_tofrom_user().
