Hi,
It seems to me this mail does not go out.
So resending it.

The following is a current version of cache aware copy_from_user_ll.
1) using kernel_fpu_begin()/kernel_fpu_end()
2) low latency version of cache aware copy
3) __copy_user*_nocache APIs so if you want to use it.
(There is no change in the current APIs.)
