Hi Dave,
this series replace the msg_control in the kernel msghdr structure with an anonymous union and separate fields for kernel vs user pointers. In addition to helping a bit with type safety and reducing sparse warnings, this also allows to remove the set_fs() in kernel_recvmsg, helping with an eventual entire removal of set_fs().
