Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: modify copy_user_generic() alternatives
mechanism
In order to avoid unnecessary chains of branches, rather than
implementing copy_user_generic() as a function consisting of just a
single (possibly patched) branch, instead properly deal with patching
call instructions in the alternative instructions framework, and
move the patching into the callers.
As a follow-on, one could also introduce something like
__EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALT() to avoid patching call sites in modules.
