Yes, I agree for UML, I was actually following the text from Christoph's patch
here:

    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211215165612.554426-1-hch@lst.de/T/#m439e32b3ecc8404424d2d8115d49fbf27c6393e9

The wording 'User Mode Linux' was perculiar. Maybe I should remove the
misleading text and just say:

    Remove the address space override API set_fs().
