The existing __get_user() implementation does not support fetching
64 bit values on 32 bit x86. Implement this in a way that does not
generate any incorrect warnings as cautioned by Russell King. Test
code available at http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/x86_32-get_user.tar .
v2: use __inttype() as suggested by H. Peter Anvin, which cleans the
code up nicely, and fix things to work on x86_64 as well. Tested on
both 32 bit and 64 bit x86.
