Umm...  There's another copy_to_user_nofault() call in the same function
(same story, AFAICS).

Can't say I'm fond of their ABI, but then I guess it could've been worse -
iterating over btree, running a user-supplied chunk of INTERCAL over it,
with all details of internal representation cast in stone by that exposure...
