Oops, I missed the __HAVE_ARCH_MEMCPY and was looking at the wrong memcpy
implementation.. And in any case, I went totally off-track by your last comment.
I hadn't realized that you were still referring to the way the code looks, 
rather
than questioning the switch to memcpy. Sorry about that!

I'll fix the odd-looking indentation and repost the patch.
