Subject: Re: [PATCH v1] staging: lustre: libcfs: add __user annotation in libcfs_ioctl_data

Thanks for reviewing.

The 2 struct members were not marked as __user, which this patch does
here. This was causing warnings with copy from/to user (see commit
description). This patch also propagates the annotation to the couple
of functions that are using those members.
