The only difference I can see is that __get/__put_user() support different access sizes, but neither of those disables page-faults by itself, for example. Couldn't these xen-specific functions not also be replaces by __get_user()/__put_user()?
No, those were used before, but commit 9da3f2b7405440 broke Xen's use case. That is why I did commit 1457d8cf7664f. Juergen
