Subject: [PATCH] Fix copy_from_user if BCM2835_FAST_MEMCPY=n
The change which introduced CONFIG_BCM2835_FAST_MEMCPY unconditionally
changed the behaviour of arm_copy_from_user. The page pinning code
is not safe on ARMv7 if LPAE & high memory is enabled and causes
crashes which look like PTE corruption.
Make __copy_from_user_memcpy conditional on CONFIG_2835_FAST_MEMCPY=y
which is really an ARMv6 / Pi1 optimization and not necessary on newer
ARM processors.
