I think if you are going to use the io{read,write}{8,16,32,64}()
interfaces then you should use io{read,write}{8,16,32,64}_rep()
instead of memcpy_{to,from}io().

Sure.
Note, I could be wrong.  Please test.

I think the operation of the two things might be different.

It seems to me that memcpy() usually just does the right thing in most cases, so that's what I went with.  Looking into some of the definitions, and at how I used memcpy_...(), I think there are some appropriate ways to use ioread32_rep() in a couple of my cases, and another case or two where the memcpy variant may not make much difference with ioread8_rep().  It's also possible that sparse may have an opinion.  I'll look at them.
