Check that the use of the user accessors for accessing kernel memory succeed as expected after set_fs(get_ds()) is used to increases the address limit, as used by the kernel to directly invoke system call code with kernel pointers. The tests are basically the same as the tests normally expected to be treated as invalid, but without any user addresses (no reversed copies), and with the result inverted such that they should succeed instead.
