Or to be more specific: I think the most simple solution would be to
try to get the new *key variants into include/linux/uaccess.h, and add
the raw variants in architecture code, similar to the rest of the
uaccess functions.
There is some (sort of) prior art with copy_mc_to_kernel() even,
though that can only partially be compared.
