Well, it's apparently there now (at least it's in your base.set_fs
branch, I didn't check actual -next).
So this is just a heads-up that I plan to merge the "asm goto" changes

Oh, it's older than that. It was there (as set_fs) in 0.10, and may

space for the uaccess code in the kernel read/write/splice code, and then
stops implementing the address space overrides entirely for x86 and
powerpc.
