Hi Dave,
Today's linux-next build (sparc defconfig) produced this warning:
In file included from arch/sparc/include/asm/uaccess.h:7,
from include/net/checksum.h:26,
from include/linux/skbuff.h:29,
from net/core/pktgen.c:141:
In function 'copy_from_user',

and many more.
The sparc64 defconfig build produced many similar warnings:
In file included from arch/sparc/include/asm/uaccess.h:5,
