Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86: unify / improve copy_*_user()

The first of these patches unifies copy_from_user(), thus making its
buffer size checking consistent between 32- and 64-bit.

The second one unifies copy_to_user(), at once adding similar
buffer size checking (to help avoiding information leaks).

1: x86: unify copy_from_user() size checking
2: x86: unify copy_to_user() and add size checking to it
