Hi Marcelo.

The following patch makes drivers/char/generic_serial.c check the
return code of copy_{from,to}_user, coverts a cli/sti to 
save_flags/cli/restore_flags and does some minor cleanup. It
also makes the rio_linux, serial_tx3912, sh-sci and sx drivers
propagate the copy_xxx_user return codes upwards.

The patch has been blessed by Rogier Wolff, the maintainer,
compiles and survives test loads. It applies against 2417p4
with tiny fuzz.
