The primary motivation to go touch memcpy_mcsafe() is that the existing benefit of doing slow "handle with care" copies is obviated on newer CPUs. With that concern lifted it also obviates the need to continue to update the MCA-recovery capability detection code currently gated by "mcsafe_key". Now the old "mcsafe_key" opt-in to perform the copy with concerns for recovery fragility can instead be made an opt-out from the default fast copy implementation (enable_copy_mc_fragile()).
The discussion with Linus on the first iteration of this patch identified that memcpy_mcsafe() was misnamed relative to its usage. The new names copy_mc_to_user() and copy_mc_to_kernel() clearly indicate the intended use case and lets the architecture organize the implementation accordingly.
For both powerpc and x86 a copy_mc_generic() implementation is added as the backend for these interfaces.
Patches are relative to tip/master.
