I think we should simply strive to remove all of them that aren't
in core scheduler / arch code. Basically evetyytime we do the
oldfs = get_fs();
set_fs(KERNEL_DS);
..
set_fs(oldfs);
trick we're doing something wrong, and there should always be better
ways to archive it. E.g. using iov_iter with a ITER_KVEC type
consistently would already remove most of them.
