Equivalent of single-segment iovec. Initialized by iov_iter_ubuf(), checked for by iter_is_ubuf(), otherwise behaves like ITER_IOVEC ones. We are going to expose the things like ->write_iter() et.al. to those in subsequent commits. New predicate (user_backed_iter()) that is true for ITER_IOVEC and ITER_UBUF; places like direct-IO handling should use that for checking that pages we modify after getting them from iov_iter_get_pages() would need to be dirtied. DO NOT assume that replacing iter_is_iovec() with user_backed_iter() will solve all problems - there's code that uses iter_is_iovec() to decide how to poke around in iov_iter guts and for that the predicate replacement obviously won't suffice.

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.
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.
