#     Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function
#     
#     Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
#     of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
#     old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
#     
#     It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
#     bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
#     user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
#     days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
#     
#     A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
#     checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
#     move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
#     the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
#     just get this done once and for all.
#     
#     This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
#     the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
#     
#     There were a couple of notable cases:
#     
#      - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
#     
#      - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
#        values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
#        really used it)
#     
#      - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
#     
#     but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
#     
#     I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
#     access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
#     something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
