Subject[RFC 1/3] lib: copy_{from,to}_user using gup & kmap_atomic()
copy_{from,to}_user() uaccess helpers are implemented by user page
pinning, followed by temporary kernel mapping & then memcpy(). This
helps to achieve user page copy when current virtual address mapping
of the CPU excludes user pages.

Performance wise, results are not encouraging, 'dd' on tmpfs results,

ARM Cortex-A8, BeagleBone White (256MiB RAM):
w/o series - ~29.5 MB/s
w/ series - ~20.5 MB/s
w/ series & highmem disabled - ~21.2 MB/s

On Cortex-A15(2GiB RAM) in QEMU:
w/o series - ~4 MB/s
w/ series - ~2.6 MB/s

Roughly a one-third drop in performance. Disabling highmem improves
performance only slightly.

'hackbench' also showed a similar pattern.

uaccess routines using page pinning & temporary kernel mapping is not
something new, it has been done long long ago by Ingo [1] as part of
4G/4G user/kernel mapping implementation on x86, though not merged in
mainline.
