Re: [PATCH 6/7] kfifo: add kfifo_skip, kfifo_from_user and kfifo_to_user

[Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net>]

 Add kfifo_reset_out() to lockless save discard the fifo output
 Add kfifo_skip() to skip a number of output bytes
 Add kfifo_from_user() to copy user space data into the fifo
 Add kfifo_to_user() to copy fifo data to user space

Signed-off-by: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net>
