Yes - I see that as well in smm.c.  Alas, I don't have a fix for it.
It seems to me that gcc is producing bogus warnings here.  It looks
like anything of the form "memcpy((void*)0x1234, p, n)" where n is
greater than 8 produces this warning.  It's a requirement to memcpy to
a physical memory address.  Disabling the warning would require adding
both "-Wno-array-bounds -Wno-stringop-overflow" to the build.

Maybe someone else has an idea on how to suppress this warning.
