<title>[ARM] allow for alternative __copy_to_user/__clear_user implementations</title>

This allows for optional alternative implementations of __copy_to_user
and __clear_user, with a possible runtime fallback to the standard
version when the alternative provides no gain over that standard
version. This is done by making the standard __copy_to_user into a weak
alias for the symbol __copy_to_user_std.  Same thing for __clear_user.

Those two functions are particularly good candidates to have alternative
implementations for, since they rely on the STRT instruction which has
lower performances than STM instructions on some CPU cores such as
the ARM1176 and Marvell Feroceon.

The last strnebt instruction has a post-index of 1 but the address
register is set to 0 in the next instruction, so no need for
post-indexing.

Back in the days when we had armo (26-bit) and armv (32-bit) combined,
we had an additional layer to the uaccess macros to ensure correct
typing.  Since we no longer have 26-bit in this tree, we no longer
need this layer, so eliminate it.

As for RETINSTR, LOADREGS is a left-over from the 26-bit days.
Remove it.
