I'm OK taking it, but there's a few things I'd like to sort out.  IIRC I put it
on a temporary branch over here

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux.git/log/?h=riscv-remove_set_fs

under the assumption it might get lost otherwise, but let me know if that's not
what you were looking for.

Arnd: Are you OK with the asm-generic stuff?  I couldn't find anything in my
mail history, so sorry if I just missed it.

Al: IIRC the plan here was to have me merge in a feature branch with this
stuff, but it'd have to be based on your for-next as there are some
dependencies over there.  I see 5ae4998b5d6f ("powerpc: remove address space
overrides using set_fs()") in vfs/for-next so I think we should be OK, but let
me know if I'm doing something wrong.
