{get|put}_user are used to transfer single values to/from user-space of
1,2,4,8 bytes (the last one is 64bit arch) (check __put_user_size macro in
include/asm/uaccess.h).
They should be used instead of copy_{to|from}_user when transfering the
above values for speed gain ({put|get}_user are much faster).
