Your patch:

 #define __access_ok(addr, size, segment)       \
        (((addr) <= (segment).seg) &&           \
-        (((size) == 0) || (((size) - 1) <= ((segment).seg - (addr)))))
+        (((size) <= 1) || (((size) - 1) <= ((segment).seg - (addr)))))

Is there any reason to write this as a macro?  Let's make this more
readable:

static inline int __access_ok(unsigned long addr, unsigned long size,
                              mm_segment_t seg)
{
        if (addr > seg.seg)
                return 0;
        return (size == 0 || size - 1 <= seg.seg - addr);
}

and I think we are done already, or will this warn for any input?
