Above is the copy & paste version from pselect.  I've got both copy_from_user
and that horrible version in my tree, and if we really need this awfull
calling convention copy_from_user certainly is much better.  pselect
also should be switched to explicit struct + copy_from_user while
we're at it.  In fact glibc defines a struct for the userland version
to start with.
