Yeah, I was pondering that one. The access_ok() is kinda redundant, but
it does avoid forcing a SPU context save on those errors.

However, it's not like we really need to optimise for the case of
invalid addresses from userspace. So, I'll include this change in the
submission to Michael's tree. Arnd - let me know if you have any
objections.

Cheers,


Jeremy
