uaccess.h ? It is a shame you have to export uao_thread_switch() (see
below for a possible solution) but I agree that prevents useless code
duplication and that this needs fixing.

set_fs(get_fs());

would do (?), but that's horrendous to say the least, maybe you can
refactor the code in asm/uaccess.h to achieve the same goal (ie you
factor out the code setting UAO from set_fs() in a separate inline that
you can also reuse in uao_thread_switch() and here).

Other than that:
