No, at least not yet.  Coldfire and co still rely on set_fs for various

m68k/mmu without CPU_HAS_ADDRESS_SPACES would be a logical next step.
I could try to whiteboard code some of it, but I'd need help from dedicated

M68k/mmu with CPU_HAS_ADDRESS_SPACES needs to use the address spaces
to access user space from kernel space using the "moves" instruction.
Coldfire doesn't.

See arch/m68k/include/asm/uaccess.h.

I know.  That doesn't change that:

 a) even getting rid for MMMU && !CPU_HAS_ADDRESS_SPACES requires further
    work
 b) getting rid of set_fs is possible even for CPU_HAS_ADDRESS_SPACES,
    although it requires a lot of work.
