On the other hand, as I found out today, 9da3f2b7405440 had a short life-time and got reverted upstream. So using __get_user()/__put_user() should be fine in this code path. It just deserves a comment explaining its use here and why pagefault_enable()/disable() is not needed. Even the get_kernel* helpers use __get_user_size() internally.
