Some people asked where the NTFS driver is...

http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~loewis/ntfs/

I understand the kernel provided a library of functions (in libkernel?)
in old revisions...

The reason I need a function for memcpy is its being passed as a pointer...

Perhaps there out to be an option to make a library out of the string
functions in addition to putting them inline (so they have entry points...)

Can someone explain this to me?
define __HAVE_ARCH_MEMCPY
#define memcpy(t, f, n) \
(__builtin_constant_p(n) ? \
__constant_memcpy((t),(f),(n)) : \
__memcpy((t),(f),(n)))

Everything without a define can be libraried...the space/time tradeoffs
would be interesting to understand...

And it would solve the problem with a kernel library...
