I'll fold in your suggestions to my patch.

Actually, this place no longer needs any casting at all, on reflection.
I've changed the __get_user() code to do the "get" into an __inttype
uniformly, so __get_user_8 will always have a u64 type for "x" here.

I'll cc you on the updated patch, so if you'd like to add your
Reviewed-by tag to it, let me know.
