I've decided to do a more in-depth fix, so that we also solve the issue
that when we schedule in these down_read()s, we don't leak the permissive
domain register setting into the switched-to context.

Can you test this patch please? Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: fix uaccess_with_memcpy() with SW_DOMAIN_PAN

The uaccess_with_memcpy() code is currently incompatible with the SW
PAN code: it takes locks within the region that we've changed the DACR,
potentially sleeping as a result. As we do not save and restore the
DACR across co-operative sleep events, can lead to an incorrect DACR
value later in this code path.
