Looking at the x86 users I think:

 - valid_user_frame should go away and the caller should use get_user
   instead of __get_user
 - the one in copy_code can just go away, as there is another check
   in copy_from_user_nmi
 - copy_stack_frame should just use access_ok
 - as does copy_from_user_nmi

but yes, having someone who actually knows this code look over it
would be very helpful.
