+ * void *memmove(void *dst, const void *src, size_t len);
+ * void *bcopy(const void *src, void *dst, size_t len);
+ *
+ * This function is intended to do the same thing as the standard
+ * library function memcpy() (or bcopy()) for most cases.
+ * However, where the source and/or destination references
+ * an instruction RAM or ROM or a data RAM or ROM, that
+ * source and/or destination will always be accessed with
+ * 32-bit load and store instructions (as required for these
+ * types of devices).
+ *
+ * !!!!!!!  XTFIXME:
+ * !!!!!!!  Handling of IRAM/IROM has not yet
+ * !!!!!!!  been implemented.
+ *
+ * The bcopy version is provided here to avoid the overhead
+ * of an extra call, for callers that require this convention.
+ *
+ * The (general case) algorithm is as follows:
+ *   If destination is unaligned, align it by conditionally
+ *     copying 1 and 2 bytes.
+ *   If source is aligned,
+ *     do 16 bytes with a loop, and then finish up with
+ *     8, 4, 2, and 1 byte copies conditional on the length;
+ *   else (if source is unaligned),
+ *     do the same, but use SRC to align the source data.
+ *   This code tries to use fall-through branches for the common
+ *     case of aligned source and destination and multiple
+ *     of 4 (or 8) length.
+ *
+ * Register use:
+ *	a0/ return address
+ *	a1/ stack pointer
+ *	a2/ return value
+ *	a3/ src
+ *	a4/ length
+ *	a5/ dst
+ *	a6/ tmp
+ *	a7/ tmp
+ *	a8/ tmp
+ *	a9/ tmp
+ *	a10/ tmp
+ *	a11/ tmp
