DESCRIPTION
     The fetch functions are designed to copy small amounts of data from user-
     space.

     The fetch routines	provide	the following functionality:

     fubyte()	 Fetches a byte	of data	from the user-space address base.

     fusword()	 Fetches a short word of data from the user-space address
		 base.

     fuswintr()	 Fetches a short word of data from the user-space address
		 base.	This function is safe to call during an	interrupt con-
		 text.

     fuword()	 Fetches a word	of data	from the user-space address base.

RETURN VALUES
     The fetch functions return	the data fetched or -1 on failure.
