[resent, because i got the lkml-adress wrong the first time]
Hi Eric!

To put this mail into context:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20985

I finally poked a little bit at the code, since i figured you would be
glad if i came up with something.

I think I understood the problem and made a correct patch, but kernel
is new territory for me. So please doublecheck if i made the correct
choices for the error-returns.

Can you make shure that this patch (if acceptable) goes into mainline?

Sincerely,
Florian

p.s.: does somebody know where the actual implementation of
copy_[from/to]_user for my core2duo @64bit is? it is a mistery!
