Dear "Steve Deiters",

I just posted a patch on the linuxppc-dev list that simply uses a slightly modified version of memcpy to always keep the source address aligned. I had conditionals in that one so it only used it for MPC512x or MPC52xx but you should be able to replace the regular memcpy with this version. This way you can avoid the wrappers and extra checks. It is a simple enough change in that case:
Thanks. I'll keep this queued and try to run some tests with it on different architectures - I don't know which side effects might be caused by changing the alignment from target to source address, so I will not introduce such a change at this point in the release cycle, literally minutes before a release.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
