[PATCH 1/2] mm: add utility for early copy from unmapped ram

[Mark Salter]

In some early boot circumstances, it may be necessary to copy
from RAM outside the kernel linear mapping to mapped RAM. The
need to relocate an initrd is one example in the x86 code. This
patch creates a helper function based on current x86 code.
