While copy_to/from_user_page() users are uncommon, there is one in
drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/libcfs/linux/linux-curproc.c which leads
to the following:

ERROR: "sparc32_cachetlb_ops" [drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/libcfs/libcfs.ko] undefined!

during routine allmodconfig build coverage.  The reason this happens
is as follows:

In arch/sparc/include/asm/cacheflush_32.h we have:

 #define flush_cache_page(vma,addr,pfn) \
        sparc32_cachetlb_ops->cache_page(vma, addr)

 #define copy_to_user_page(vma, page, vaddr, dst, src, len) \
        do {                                                    \
                flush_cache_page(vma, vaddr, page_to_pfn(page));\
                memcpy(dst, src, len);                          \
        } while (0)
 #define copy_from_user_page(vma, page, vaddr, dst, src, len) \
        do {                                                    \
                flush_cache_page(vma, vaddr, page_to_pfn(page));\
                memcpy(dst, src, len);                          \
        } while (0)

However, sparc32_cachetlb_ops isn't exported and hence the error.
