This patch results in the following runtime warning on nommu systems.

This is with qemu's mps2-an385 emulation and and mps2_defconfig.
The same warning is also observed with m68k and mcf5208evb,
though the traceback isn't as nice.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at lib/iov_iter.c:468 0x40135e4e

[<40135e4e>] 0x40135e4e
[<4009c610>] 0x4009c610

Reverting this patch fixes the problem for both mps2-an385 and mcf5208evb.
