parisc is also such...  How about

	select ALTERNATE_SPACE_USERLAND

for that bunch?  While we are at it, how many unusual access_ok() instances are
left after this series?  arm64, itanic, um, anything else?

FWIW, sparc32 has a slightly unusual instance (see uaccess_32.h there); it's
obviously cheaper than generic and I wonder if the trick is legitimate (and
applicable elsewhere, perhaps)...
