Mmm, this won't be so simple actually, as speakup_set_selection and
speakup_paste_selection will still be using speakup/selection.c's
sel_start variable.  I guess all speakup/selection.c will need to be
migrated to using drivers/char/selection.c functions at the same time.

speakup_paste_selection is basically like paste_selection, except that
it can be called with in_atomic() being true.  Yes, it's a hack.  The
calls to speakup_past_selection should first be moved to a helper
thread, and then the main paste_selection function can be used instead.

speakup_set_selection is basically like set_selection, except that it
doesn't take a userland structure, but gets the values from kernelland
speakup.  A kernel-land variant of set_selection should probably be
defined that takes a kernelland structure. Apart from that, I don't
think speakup_set_selection has anything particular compared to the main
version.  Kirk, can you confirm?
