+/*
+ * This routine copies a linear memory buffer across the user/kernel boundary. When
+ * reading a byte from the source causes a fault, the remainder of the destination
+ * buffer is zeroed out. Note that this can happen only when copying from user
+ * to kernel memory and we do this to absolutely guarantee that the
+ * kernel doesn't operate on random data.
+ *
+ * This file is derived from arch/alpha/lib/copy_user.S.
+ *
+ * Inputs:
+ * in0: address of destination buffer
+ * in1: address of source buffer
+ * in2: length of buffer in bytes
+ * Outputs:
+ * r8: number of bytes that didn't get copied due to a fault
