I now noticed one more bug:

The assignment is done in the wrong direction, this needs to become
something like:

#define __get_user_unaligned(x, ptr)                                   \
({                                                                     \
       __typeof__ (*(ptr)) __x;                                        \
       __copy_from_user(&__x, (ptr), sizeof(*(ptr))) ? -EFAULT : 0;    \
       (x) = __x;                                                      \
})

Hopefully that'll be the last change for this, the rest looks good to
me.
