I'm trying to teach people to just take my patches for granted as being 
untested. I think there is more shock value when I actually claim one of 
my patches is actually _tested_, so I guess I'll just emphasize that part 
in case it ever happens (and ok, it did happen for the cpu_mask thing).

Ok, I'll commit it as obvious, ugly as it may be. And hope that Nick or 
some other god of iov_iter will think about trying to make these things 
more reliable and easier to use.
