    Should not page fault be disabled when doing this ? Ideally it should
    have also called access_ok() on the user address range first. The point
    is that the caller of __copy_from_user_inatomic() must make sure that
    there cannot be any page fault while doing the actual copy. But also it
    should be done in generic way, something like in access_ok(). The current
    proposal here seems very specific to arm64 case.
