Seeing a "__get_user()" and just being able to glance up in the same
function and seeing the "access_ok()" is just a good safety net. And
means that people don't have to waste time thinking about or looking
for where the hell the security net really is.

Fair enough.

OK, with 3/5 dropped 4/5 get a trivial conflict (removal of function in 4/5
vs. change in it in 3/5).  With that dealt with, the sucker is in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-davem

Shortlog:
Al Viro (4):
      separate kernel- and userland-side msghdr
      {compat_,}verify_iovec(): switch to generic copying of iovecs
      fold verify_iovec() into copy_msghdr_from_user()
      bury skb_copy_to_page()

Pulled, thanks Al.
