Doing so...  Conversion in question is done by 

PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*<asm/uaccess.h>'
sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include <linux/uaccess.h>!" \
        `git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h`

I'd done that right now and pushed the result into vfs.git#uaccess-example;
probably would be better if you ran the above just before the -rc1.

The only place that should pull asm/uaccess.h is linux/uaccess.h.  Everything
else can include <linux/uaccess.h> instead.
