Fixes to the iterator code to handle faults that are not on
page boundaries mean that the special case for machine check
during copy from user is no longer needed.

Can we name some of those fixes here pls?

We will forget which those were in the future so it would be good to
leave some breadcrumbs at least...

Thx.

Is this how you generated that list, per chance?

$ git log --oneline v5.14 -- lib/iov_iter.c

?

Output looks at least similar to what you've pasted...

Almost. I had "v5.14 ^v5.13" to stop git from going back
further than when I think Al started applying those fixes.
