i have changed it to COPY_SEG_CPL3() - no need to resend. Here are the 
patches i've picked up into tip/x86/signal:

 6497760: x86: ia32_signal: change order of storing in setup_sigcontext()
 047ce93: x86: ia32_signal: remove using temporary variable
 8c6e5ce: x86: ia32_signal: cleanup macro RELOAD_SEG
 d71a68d: x86: ia32_signal: introduce COPY_SEG_CPL3
 b78a5b5: x86: ia32_signal: cleanup macro COPY

thanks!
