This is only used by gpu/drm.

I think this is a poor name for a generic function
that would be in kernel.h.

Isn't there an include file in linux/drm that's
appropriate for this.  Maybe drmP.h

Maybe prefix this function name with drm_ too.

Also, there's this that might conflict:

arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c:#define to_user_ptr(p)          ptr_to_compat(p)
arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c:#define to_user_ptr(p)          ((unsigned long)(p))
