mainlining shenanigans

This makes it clear and safe to access constants passed in from user space. We define a consistent ABI of u64 for all constants, and verify that the data passed in can be represented by the type the user supplies. The expectation is this will always be used with an enum declaring the constant values, and the user will use the enum type as input to the accessor. To retrieve the attribute value we introduce two helper calls - one standard which may fail if attribute is not valid and one where caller can provide a default value which will be used in case the attribute is not valid (useful when attribute is optional).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
