The tlb trick for clear_user_page is already implemented. The code for
copy_user_page is there, but turned off due to an issue mentioned in my
last email. I believe the failure case was not a frequent path, and there
are ways of working around that problem.
The address that the copying is done through (e,g. the tlb trick) is
independent of the algorithm used to actually do the copying.
