In former commit, actual operations of each ioctl command get argument in kernel space. Copying from/to user space is performed outside of the function.

While it's OK to split to small patches if you prefer, you don't have to do so. Basically all the rest are doing the same thing (strip copy_*_user() and replace to the pointer accesses), and it's rather boring to read repeated mails.
BTW, I'm afraid that the patch series breaks bisection. We need to consider rearranging the changes if we want to keep bisectionability.
