- * strncpy_from_unsafe: - Copy a NUL terminated string from unsafe address.

- * If access fails, returns -EFAULT (some data may have been copied

- * If @count is smaller than the length of the string, copies @count-1 bytes,

- * Same as strncpy_from_kernel_nofault() except that for architectures with
- * not fully separated user and kernel address spaces this function also works
- * for user address tanges.

- * DO NOT USE THIS FUNCTION - it is broken on architectures with entirely
- * separate kernel and user address spaces, and also a bad idea otherwise.
