Is 64-bit get_user() supposed to work portably?  Because it seems that
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h intentionally makes get_user((__u64))
expand to __get_user_X() and then never defines __get_user_X().  And
arm, say, expands it to __get_user_bad().  But on the other hand,
powerpc and sparc seem to go to the trouble of defining a 64-bit
get_user() for 32-bit builds...

My fault for insufficient 32-bit compile testing.  Andrew, I'll send a
patch to change to copy_from_user() instead.
