Any variance of put_user() with &buf[ctr] or buf + ctr fails
if ctr is a variable and permitted to be != 0.
Crazy. But the 64-bit put_user() is a bit special and tends to require
more registers (the 64-bit value is passed in two registers), so that
probably then results in the ICE.

Side note: looking at the SH version of __put_user_u64(), I think it's
buggy and is missing the exception handler for the second 32-bit move.
I dunno, I don't read sh asm, but it looks suspicious.
I wonder if something may be wrong with the definition and use of __m
for u64 accesses. The code below also fixes the build problem.

But then I really don't know what

struct __large_struct { unsigned long buf[100]; };
#define __m(x) (*(struct __large_struct __user *)(x))

is supposed to be doing in the first place, and I still don't understand
why the problem only shows up with CONFIG_MMU=n.
