Right, I guess that makes sense.

A memcpy() might do the right thing as well. Another idea would
be a cast to __int128 like

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128
typedef __int128 tre128_t;
#else
typedef struct { __u64 a; __u64 b; } tre128_t;
#else

static inline void set_tre(struct gsi_tre *dest_tre, struct gs_tre *src_tre)
{
     *(volatile tre128_t *)dest_tre = *(tre128_t *)src_tre;
}
