The above doesn't exist yet, you add it in patch 3, which is a little
confusing for a reader of this commit in isolation.
I think you could safely move that into this patch, and then this patch
would be ~= "Add generic fallback version of copy_mc_to_user()".
It's probably not worth doing a whole new version of the series just for
that, but if you need to do a new version for some other reason I think
it would be cleaner to introduce the fallback in this commit.

Agreed, will do in next version.
