There's several of similar ones that have been renamed...

copy_to_user_ret
put_user_ret
get_user_ret
....

replace with

if(get_user(..))
return -EFAULT;

Along these lines, I've made a patch to lm_sensors so that they work
under test8. Patch is available at
http://www.haque.net/software/patches/lm_sensors-2.5.2+2.4.0-test8-pre2.diff.gz
