    With hardened usercopy enabled (CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y), using the
    /proc/powerpc/rtas/firmware_update interface to prepare a system
    firmware update yields a BUG():
    
      kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!

    The blocks of the firmware image are copied directly from user memory
    to objects allocated from flash_block_cache, so flash_block_cache must
    be created using kmem_cache_create_usercopy() to mark it safe for user
    access.
