Yes, the day they want to use unsafe_copy_siginfo_to_user() they'll have to implement 
unsafe_clear_user().

Until that day, they don't need unsafe_clear_user() and I'm sure the result would be disastrous if a 
poor powerpc guy like me was trying to implement some low level x86 code.

Similar to unsafe_get_compat_sigset(), an arch wanting to use it has to implement 
unsafe_copy_from_user().
