A MIPS specific csum_and_copy_from_user function is necessary because
the generic one from include/net/checksum.h will not work for EVA.
This is because the generic one will link to symbols from lib/checksum.c
which are not EVA aware.

In EVA mode, different instructions need to be used to read/write
from kernel and userland. In non-EVA mode, there is no functional
difference. The current address limit is checked to decide the
type of operation that will be performed.

The 'copy_user' symbol can be used to copy from or to
userland so we will use two different symbols for these
operations. This makes no difference in the existing code,
but when the core is operating in EVA mode, different instructions
need to be used to read and write to userland address space.
The old function has also been renamed to 'copy_kernel' to denote
that it is suitable for copy data to and from kernel space.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.
