__access_ok

[Carsten Langgaard <carstenl@mips.com>]

The __access_ok macro in include/asm-mips64/uaccess.h need to be changed
in order to work correctly, it's a copy from the 32-bit kernel.
It's not good enough to simply check for the "sign bit" of the address.
The area between USEG (XUSEG) and KSEG0 will in 64-bit addressing mode
generate an address error, if
accessed. The size of the area depend on the number of virtual
addressing bits, implemented in the CPU.

I have tried to come up with a patch, please see below. Any thought ?
I also changed the macro in arch/mips64/kernel/unaligned.c
