Subject: [RFC][PATCH 6/12 not tested yet] PPC: introduce copy_in_user() for
 32-bit

During the work of KVM's dirty page logging optimization, we encountered
the need of copy_in_user() for 32-bit ppc and x86: these will be used for
manipulating dirty bitmaps in user space.

So we implement copy_in_user() for 32-bit with __copy_tofrom_user().
