Subject: [PATCHES] uaccess __copy_to_user()

	Similar for __copy_to_user(); patches that didn't
fit anywhere else (e.g. into readdir series).  The goal,
again, is to get rid of __copy_to_user() outside of arch/*.
We are not quite there (e.g. there's regset crap, some
KVM/vhost-related callers that want different predicate
instead of access_ok()), but it's getting fairly close.

	Branch is #uaccess.__copy_to_user, based at
v5.7-rc1.

Al Viro (2):
      esas2r: don't bother with __copy_to_user()
      dlmfs: convert dlmfs_file_read() to copy_to_user()
