From: Akinobu Mita GCC may generates inline copy loop to handle memcpy() function instead of kernel defined memcpy(). But this inlined version of memcpy() causes an alignment interrupt when copying from local store. This patch uses memcpy_fromio() and memcpy_toio to copy local store to prevent memcpy() being inlined.
