Hmm...   Looking at __get_user_size(), we have retval = 0; very early
in it.  So I wonder if it should simply be
#define __get_user_size(x, ptr, size, retval)                           \
do {                                                                    \
        int __cb;                                                       \
        retval = 0;                                                     \
        switch (size) {                                                 \
        case 1: __get_user_asm(x, ptr, retval, 1, "l8ui", __cb);  break;\
        case 2: __get_user_asm(x, ptr, retval, 2, "l16ui", __cb); break;\
        case 4: __get_user_asm(x, ptr, retval, 4, "l32i", __cb);  break;\
        case 8: if (unlikely(__copy_from_user(&x, ptr, 8)) {            \
                        retval = -EFAULT;                               \
                        x = 0;                                          \
                }                                                       \
                break;                                                  \
        default: (x) = __get_user_bad();                                \
        }                                                               \
} while (0)
so that 64bit case is closer to the others in that respect (i.e. zeroing
done on failure and out of line).  No?
