I don't get the three versions part?

Given that most architetures select the generic version I wonder if it might be worth to add another patch to invert the logic so that architectures with their own implementation need to sekect a symbol.
+extern long strncpy_from_user(char *dst, const char __user *src, long count); +extern long strnlen_user(const char __user *src, long n);
No need for the extern here.
