[PATCH 1/4] maccess,probe_kernel: Allow arch specific override probe_kernel_(read|write)

From: Jason Wessel
Date: Thu Jan 07 2010 - 14:01:41 EST


Some archs such as blackfin, would like to have an arch specific
probe_kernel_read() and probe_kernel_write() implementation which can
fall back to the generic implementation if no special operations are
needed.
