getuser() and putuser() (and there underscored variants) use two strb[t]/ldrb[t] instructions when they are asked to get/put 16-bits. This means that the read/write is not atomic even when performed to a 16-bit-aligned address. This leads to problems with vhost: vhost uses __getuser() to read the vring's 16-bit avail.index field, and if it happens to observe a partial update of the index, wrong descriptors will be used which will lead to a breakdown of the virtio communication. A similar problem exists for __putuser() which is used to write to the vring's used.index field. The reason these functions use strb[t]/ldrb[t] is because strht/ldrht instructions did not exist until ARMv6T2/ARMv7. So we should be easily able to fix this on ARMv7. Also, since all ARMv6 processors also don't actually use the unprivileged instructions anymore for uaccess (since CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS is not used) we can easily fix them too.
