I think you're causing yourself more headaches by implementing this "op"

I probably misinterpreted the initial criticism on my first patchset, about duplication. Somehow, I'm still thinking to the endgame of having higher-level functions, like list management.

Here's some generic code:

thank you, I have one question, below

void *wr_memcpy(void *dst, void *src, unsigned int len)
{
	wr_state_t wr_state;
	void *wr_poking_addr = __wr_addr(dst);

	local_irq_disable();
	wr_enable(&wr_state);
	__wr_memcpy(wr_poking_addr, src, len);

Is __wraddr() invoked inside wm_memcpy() instead of being invoked privately within __wr_memcpy() because the code is generic, or is there some other reason?

	wr_disable(&wr_state);
	local_irq_enable();

	return dst;
}

Now, x86 can define appropriate macros and functions to use the temporary_mm
functionality, and other architectures can do what makes sense to them.
