Umm...  get_user() for anything larger than long is simply not supported on
a lot of architectures[1].  Do we really want to do that for unsafe_get_user()?

[1] at the moment, blackfin, m32r, m68k/mmu, microblaze, mn10300, nios2, sh.
arm allows it for get_user() (and rmk was really unhappy about doing so), but
not for __get_user().
