Conceptually, I'm fine with the idea of constraining what we do for a
true uaccess, but I don't like the implementation of this at all, and I
think we first need to clean up the arm64 extable usage to clearly
distinguish a uaccess from another access.

This is at best misnamed; It doesn't actually apply the fixup, it just
searches for one.

Why do we need a special copy_mc_to_user() ?

Why are we not making *every* true uaccess recoverable? That way the
regular copy_to_user() would just work.

Thanks,
