x86/powerpc has it's implementation of copy_mc_to_user but not use #define
to declare.

This may cause problems, for example, if other architectures open
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC, but want to use copy_mc_to_user() outside the
architecture, the code add to include/linux/uaddess.h is as follows:

     #ifndef copy_mc_to_user
     static inline unsigned long __must_check
     copy_mc_to_user(void *dst, const void *src, size_t cnt)
     {
	    ...
     }
     #endif
The above doesn't exist yet, you add it in patch 3, which is a little
confusing for a reader of this commit in isolation.

I think you could safely move that into this patch, and then this patch
would be ~= "Add generic fallback version of copy_mc_to_user()".

It's probably not worth doing a whole new version of the series just for
that, but if you need to do a new version for some other reason I think
it would be cleaner to introduce the fallback in this commit.


Agreed, will do in next version.

Thanks,
Tong.

Then this definition will conflict with the implementation of x86/powerpc
and cause compilation errors as follow:
