By separate mail I sent you half a dozen or perhaps a dozen sparse
fixes, all of the trivial kind. Hope you don't mind.
I did more, but the nfs / aio / sendfile stuff involves somewhat
larger surgery - will send some other time.

I like it, or, rather, the result of having __user annotation
for pointers to user space.
