I have no idea what the difference is between set_selection() and
do_set_selection() is now. Naming is hard, I know :(
How about set_selection_kernel()? set_selection_tiocl()?
Something to show that one takes a userspace pointer, and the other a
kernel pointer, how about:
set_selection_user()
set_selection_kernel()
making it more obvious?
