This will allow sparc64 to override its ADI tags for
get_user_pages and get_user_pages_fast.

Hmm, this function, and the other, goes on to do:

        if (unlikely(!access_ok((void __user *)start, len)))
                return 0;

and I thought that access_ok takes in the tagged pointer?

How about re-order it a bit?
