Confirmed that this patch works on both compilers, and fixes GCC 4.4.

GCC 4.4 before:

  ffffffff8147461d:       89 e0                   mov    %esp,%eax
  ffffffff8147461f:       4c 89 f7                mov    %r14,%rdi
  ffffffff81474622:       4c 89 fe                mov    %r15,%rsi
  ffffffff81474625:       ba 20 00 00 00          mov    $0x20,%edx
  ffffffff8147462a:       89 c4                   mov    %eax,%esp
  ffffffff8147462c:       e8 bf 52 05 00          callq  ffffffff814c98f0 <copy_user_generic_unrolled>

after:

  ffffffff8147461e:       48 89 e0                mov    %rsp,%rax
  ffffffff81474621:       4c 89 f7                mov    %r14,%rdi
  ffffffff81474624:       4c 89 fe                mov    %r15,%rsi
  ffffffff81474627:       ba 20 00 00 00          mov    $0x20,%edx
  ffffffff8147462c:       48 89 c4                mov    %rax,%rsp
  ffffffff8147462f:       e8 cc 52 05 00          callq  ffffffff814c9900 <copy_user_generic_unrolled>

It still has the "back up and restore the stack pointer just for the fun
of it" thing, but at least the corruption is gone.

Will finalize the patch and send it along to tip.
