Oh, yes, what you said is an example, I need reference it, but should
not depend on it.

Hmm... for me "asm_user_enter" seems still a little 'generic' (e.g.
"asm-generic", "arch/*/include/asm/"), maybe just use common extern
functions' name is enough (e.g. "wrap_user_enter").

But all together, I feel your original fix patch is well enough to me,
it seems don't need additional trying.  :-)
