Since I am probably the only one that knows about DAR problem I figured
I should take a stab at it. This is not tested, but I hope Rex and the list
can do that. Once this works as it should, we can remove all special handling
for 8xx in copy_tofrom_user() and friends.
No sign-off yet, want some confirmation first.
