Looking at some architectures it appears that asm/uaccess.h should be
used instead of asm/segment.h. Is this generally true that code in
segment.h should be moved into uaccess.h or is it still valid for an
architecture to have segment.h?
I'm cleaning up arch/ppc and arch/ppc64 and was wondering about
everyone else.

At least in i386, segment.h can be included by userspace programs, and
although it really is the user include maintainers that should sort that
out, moving segment.h into uaccess.h makes that job more tedious.
It looks like the proper thing to do for ppc is to deprecate segment.h
entirely.
