[PATCH 00/13] arm64: remove set_fs() and friends

This series removes set_fs() from arm64, building atop the core rework
done by Christophe. The series can be found in my arm64/set_fs-removal
branch [2].

The bulk of the rework is to address the way we manipulate PAN and UAO,
which is largely rendered redundant.

The kernel maccess routines (__{get,put}_kernel_nofault) are trivial
wrappers which share code with the uaccess routines, so I expect these
should just work, but they'll need testing in-context, especially where
they're wrapped by the gerneric copy routines.

So far this has seen some very basic boot testing. I intend to throw
Syzkaller and LTP at this soon.

Mark.
