DESCRIPTION

     The fetch functions are designed to copy small amounts of data from user-space of the
     current process.  If read is successful, it is performed atomically.  The data read must be
     naturally aligned.

     The fetch routines provide the following functionality:

     fubyte()     Fetches a byte of data from the user-space address base.  The byte read is
                  zero-extended into the results variable.

     fuword()     Fetches a word of data (long) from the user-space address base.

     fuword16()   Fetches 16 bits of data from the user-space address base.  The half-word read
                  is zero-extended into the results variable.

     fuword32()   Fetches 32 bits of data from the user-space address base.

     fuword64()   Fetches 64 bits of data from the user-space address base.

     fuswintr()   Fetches a short word of data from the user-space address base.  This function
                  is safe to call during an interrupt context.

     fueword()    Fetches a word of data (long) from the user-space address base and stores the
                  result in the variable pointed by val.

     fueword32()  Fetches 32 bits of data from the user-space address base and stores the result
                  in the variable pointed by val.

     fueword64()  Fetches 64 bits of data from the user-space address base and stores the result
                  in the variable pointed by val.

     The callers of fuword(), fuword32() and fuword64() functions cannot distinguish between -1
     read from userspace and function failure.

RETURN VALUES

     The fubyte(), fuword(), fuword16(), fuword32(), fuword64(), and fuswintr() functions return
     the data fetched or -1 on failure.  The fueword(), fueword32() and fueword64() functions
     return 0 on success and -1 on failure.
