Use one generic vhost_copy_to_user() instead of two dedicated
accessor. This will simplify the conversion to fine grain accessors.

The reason we did it like this is because it was faster.
Want to try benchmarking before we change it?

Faster is a good side effect of such conversion. Otherwise we need two 
new fine grain memory accessor.

But, anyway, I can test its impact.

Thanks
