*sigh*

Finally realized I forgot to add back the page offset after converting from guest
page frame to host virtual address. Anyways, this is what I ended up with, will
test more tomorrow.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/uaccess: Implement unsafe_try_cmpxchg_user()

Do try_cmpxchg() loops on userspace addresses. Provide 8-byte versions
for 32-bit kernels so that KVM can do cmpxchg on guest PAE PTEs, which
are accessed via userspace addresses.
