Hi Michal,

Thanks for finding the problem.

I think you're right that it's not a good solution, the compiler could generate
other calls to memcpy depending on various factors, and people will add new
code that causes memcpy to get called and it will break your platform.

Christophe, am I right that the problem here is that your new memcpy() doesn't
work until later in boot when caches are enabled?

cheers
