It's a name that seems like it should be a straightforward
cast of a kernel pointer to a __user pointer like:

static inline void __user *to_user_ptr(void *p)
{
        return (void __user *)p;
}
ahh, ok.  I guess I was used to using it in the context of ioctl
structs..  in that context u64 -> (void __user *) made more sense.

Maybe uapi_to_ptr()?  (ok, not super-creative.. maybe someone has a
better idea)
Maybe u64_to_user_ptr?
