Minor nit: might make sense to separate annotations (here, on nios2, etc.) from the rest...

This, OTOH,

is really wrong.  For sparc64, access_ok() should always be true.
This __range_not_ok() thing is used *only* for valid_user_frame() in
arch/sparc/kernel/perf_event.c - it's not a part of normal access_ok()
there.

sparc64 has separate address spaces for kernel and for userland; access_ok()
had never been useful there.
