Do we really need to copy the interface documentation?
/**
* access_ok: - Checks if a user space pointer is valid
* @type: Type of access: %VERIFY_READ or %VERIFY_WRITE. Note that
* %VERIFY_WRITE is a superset of %VERIFY_READ - if it is safe
* to write to a block, it is always safe to read from it.
* @addr: User space pointer to start of block to check
* @size: Size of block to check
