May I suggest a trivial sol:
in put_user, case 8 uses something like as:
__put_user_asm("stw",(unsigned int)(x >> 32), (unsigned int) ptr);__put_user_asm("stw",(unsigned
int) x, (unsigned int) (ptr+1) );

or is it in the contrary order (I am not familiar with SE and BE conversion)

Thanks for attention,
    Joel
