Did you have a look at the following patch ? It's been waiting for  
application for some weeks now.  
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/771869
It limits number of calls to get_user()
Can you have a look and merge it with your serie ?

> While at it, make store_update_sp a boolean.

My patch requires a tristate here
