[PATCH RFC] x86: uaccess s/might_sleep/might_fault/

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

The only reason uaccess routines might sleep
is if they fault. Make this explicit for
__copy_from_user_nocache, and consistent with
copy_from_user and friends.

I've updated all other arches as well - still
build-testing. Any objections to the x86 patch?
