[PATCHv2 1/3] x86: process: Unify 32-bit and 64-bit copy_thread I/O bitmap handling
The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of copy_thread have functionally
identical handling for copying the I/O bitmap, modulo differences in
error handling. Clean up the error paths in both by moving the copy of
the I/O bitmap to the end, to eliminate the need to free it if
subsequent copy steps fail; move the resulting identical code to a
static inline in a common header.

[PATCH v4 00/10] x86: Support compiling out userspace IO (iopl and ioperm)
This patch series makes it possible to compile out the userspace IO system
calls, iopl and ioperm.
The first patch does some 32/64 unification in copy_thread to make subsequent
changes easier. The second patch simplifies the complex calculation of the TSS
segment limit, which also makes it easier to change in the last patch. Patches
3-9 introduce helpers to make it easier to compile out IO.
