copy from user to user directly basically cant be done with 2.2. You cant
take page faults for another tasks context that simply. You'd have to do it
the way arch/*kernel/ptrace.c does it for the various platforms which
is slow and complex.

The 2.4 kiovecs can do it in theory. Someone has a demonstration patch doing
this for pipes
