I'd put the list of those architectures (AFAICS, that's alpha, ia64,
microblaze, nds32, nios2, openrisc, sh, sparc32, xtensa) into commit
message - it's not that hard to find out, but...

And AFAICS, you've missed nios2 - see
#define __put_user(x, ptr) put_user(x, ptr)
in there.  nds32 oddities are dealt with earlier in the series, this
