Re: [PATCH 2/9] ARM: traps: use get_kernel_nofault instead of set_fs()

+static void dump_mem(const char *, const char *, unsigned long, unsigned long, bool kernel_mode);
This adds a pointlessly long line.  

And looking at the code I don't see why the argument is even needed.

dump_mem() currently does an unconditional set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so it
should always use get_kernel_nofault.

When I looked at this earlier I just added a little helper to make
this a little easier to read.   Here is my patch from an old tree:
