How about select ALTERNATE_SPACE_USERLAND for that bunch? While we are at it, how many unusual access_ok() instances are left after this series? arm64, itanic, um, anything else? FWIW, sparc32 has a slightly unusual instance (see uaccess_32.h there); it's obviously cheaper than generic and I wonder if the trick is legitimate (and applicable elsewhere, perhaps)...
