Hiro Yoshioka c22ce143d1 [PATCH] x86: cache pollution aware __copy_from_user_ll() 
Use the x86 cache-bypassing copy instructions for copy_from_user().

Some performance data are

Total of GLOBAL_POWER_EVENTS (CPU cycle samples)

2.6.12.4.orig    1921587
2.6.12.4.nt      1599424

BSQ_CACHE_REFERENCE (L3 cache miss)
2.6.12.4.orig      57427
2.6.12.4.nt        20858
20858/57427=36.32% (63.7% reduction)
