+Subject: [PATCH] Fix copy_from_user if BCM2835_FAST_MEMCPY=n
+
+The change which introduced CONFIG_BCM2835_FAST_MEMCPY unconditionally
+changed the behaviour of arm_copy_from_user. The page pinning code
+is not safe on ARMv7 if LPAE & high memory is enabled and causes
+crashes which look like PTE corruption.
+
+Make __copy_from_user_memcpy conditional on CONFIG_2835_FAST_MEMCPY=y
+which is really an ARMv6 / Pi1 optimization and not necessary on newer
+ARM processors.
