This cause alignment problem on ARM (and possibly other archs), instead copy

This looks like a good pessimization for space. boot2 on i386 has to
fit in 8192 bytes and has a negative number to spare (features are
already left out).
Do you have any suggestion on making the code better ?
This was the last patch for having EFI working on ARMv6 and this is
something that I want to be enabled by default at some point.
At least copy to a local variable. Ifdefs for the space-constrained &&
non-strict-alignment arches work of course, but shouldn't be needed.
You will have to investigate the -ffreestanding and builtin situation.
-ffreestanding is set in 24 sub-Makefiles instead of correctly in 1
Makefile.inc. I think it applies to all of boot/i386. boot code
almost never recovers from this using __builtin_*. Beware that some
builtins just call an extern function which might not exist in boot
code. Even memcpy barely exists in small boot2's. Some compilers
have buggy -ffreestanding and call memcpy() for struct copying, so it
is preferred to bcopy() in boot code.
