It's essentially what I was thinking but I have some small remarks.

The asm function could have directly be named raw_copy_{to,from}_user()
because the inline functions are just no-ops but it's very clear like so.

I don't think that the size (as reported by objdump, for example) will
be correct or even present for __asm_copy_to_user & __asm_copy_to_user.
What can be done is:
ENTRY(__asm_copy_to_user)
ENTRY(__asm_copy_from_user)
<function definition>
ENDPROC(__asm_copy_to_user)
ENDPROC(__asm_copy_from_user)
Finally, the symbol table need also something like:
diff --git a/arch/riscv/kernel/riscv_ksyms.c b/arch/riscv/kernel/riscv_ksyms.c
index 551734248..1e8f8fa54 100644
