Thanks for the suggestion, however it fails to build with both gcc and clang:

fs/ioctl.c:585:6: error: use of undeclared identifier '__current_sp'
        if (get_user(count, &argp->dest_count)) {
            ^
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:168:16: note: expanded from macro 'get_user'
                       "+r" (__current_sp)
      \

The references I found refer to __current_sp as an intrinsic function
for ARM32.
