Yes, I've seen these but since Al's patches are not in mainline, I don't
want to add additional dependencies to the arm64 patches (currently
based on 3.6-rc4). Once they get into mainline, I'll add a patch that
converts arm64 to the generic functions above.

For kernel_execve(), I think I can simplify it further and not rely on
Al's patches (similar to other architectures doing an SVC from kernel):

Hmm, I thought one of the reasons for Al to do his series was to discourage
people from doing syscalls from kernel space, but I may be misremembering
things. Al?

If that was the aim, I'm happy to change the code similar to the
arch/arm one. But as I said I would wait until Al's patches get into
mainline.
