[PATCH 3/4] x86: Implement strict user copy checks for x86_64

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Tue May 31 2011 - 14:15:44 EST


Strict user copy checks are only really supported on x86_32 even
though the config option is selectable on x86_64. Add the
necessary support to the 64 bit code to trigger copy_from_user()
warnings at compile time.
