I've had a first pass at this now, see

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground.git/log/?h=arm-kill-set_fs

There are a couple of things in there that ended up uglier than I was
hoping for, and it's completely untested beyond compilation. Is this
roughly what you had in mind? I can do some testing then and post
it to the Arm mailing list.
