 vchiq_copy_from_user

At this point, I need to take a step back from this whole thing and
evaluate where this is all going.  I started this arm64 thing for fun
as a tinker idea, and it is quickly becoming more then I think I want
to get involved with at this time.

I'm not saying I won't return to this at a later time or tinker with it
on my own.  I just need to take a step back.  I have sent out patches
and if someone else wants to use what I have submitted as a starting
point, that's completely fine with me.

Thanks.
