FWIW, on the raw_copy_to_user() side the same set of constant sizes is
recongized by the same architectures and we have
	* __put_user/put_user in asm-generic/uaccess.h make use of that
	* arc, c6x, ppc and riscv using it to store sigset_t on sigframe
	* 3 odd callers:
		* arc stash_usr_regs(), inlined and unrolled large copy_to_user()
		* ppc kvm_htab_read(), 64bit store.
		* i915_gem_execbuffer_ioctl():
                        if (__copy_to_user(&user_exec_list[i].offset,
                                           &exec2_list[i].offset,
                                           sizeof(user_exec_list[i].offset)))
		in a loop.  'offset' here is __u64.

That's it.  IOW, asm-generic put_user() is the only real cause to have those 
magic sizes recognized on raw_copy_to_user() side.
