[PATCH] access_ok is likely

From Manfred

While trying to figure out why sysv msg is around 30% slower than pipes for
data transfers I noticed that gcc's autodetection (3.2.2) guesses the
"if(access_ok())" tests in uaccess.h wrong and puts the error memset into the
direct path and the copy out of line.

So tell the compiler that access_ok() is likely to be true.
