Please use passive voice in your commit message: no "we" or "I", etc,
and describe your changes in imperative mood.

Also, pls read section "2) Describe your changes" in

Hi Borislav:

how about this commit msg change?

Since commit 034ff37d3407 ("x86: rewrite '__copy_user_nocache'
function") rewrited __copy_user_nocache() uses EX_TYPE_UACCESS
instead of EX_TYPE_COPY,there is no user for EX_TYPE_COPY,so
remove it.

Thanks.
Tong.

You don't need to renumber them - all you need to do is to comment it
out:

/* unused, was: #define EX_TYPE_COPY 4 */
