Subject: x86: Make copy_from_user_nmi() a library function
From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@....com>
Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 11:49:55 +0200
copy_from_user_nmi() is used in oprofile and perf. Moving it to other
library functions like copy_from_user(). As this is x86 code for 32
and 64 bits, create a new file usercopy.c for unified code.
