For -rc, I would favor the following simpler approach. Or I could even
just use get_user() instead. Thoughts ?

    rseq: implement work-around for missing 8-byte __get_user on arm
    
    Now that rseq uses __u64 for its pointer fields, 32-bit architectures
    need to read this 64-bit value from user-space.
    
    __get_user is used to read this value, given that its access check has
    already been performed with access_ok() on rseq registration.
    
    arm does not implement 8-byte __get_user. Work-around this limitation
    by using get_user() on ARM instead, with its redundant access check.
