I think we should simply strive to remove all of them that aren't
in core scheduler / arch code.  Basically evetyytime we do the

	oldfs = get_fs();
	set_fs(KERNEL_DS); 
	..
	set_fs(oldfs);

trick we're doing something wrong, and there should always be better
ways to archive it.  E.g. using iov_iter with a ITER_KVEC type
consistently would already remove most of them.
