Splicing in Manoj, from CrOS' LLVM team, who has done a ton of work
for building Linux kernels with Clang.  Manoj posted this on an
internal thread about this issue, that I think could help inform the
discussion upstream:
```
I saw the upstream discussion and would like to clarify a few things:

1. __builtin_memcpy makes clang emit a call to memcpy.
2. In Linux kernel: memcpy implementation is provided by Kernel, not clang.
3. clang 10 used to optimize trivial memcpy e.g. 64-bit memcpy was
optimized to two 32 bit reads and not calling memcpy at all.
4. clang 11 does not optimize trivial memcpy if the program provides
its own memcpy implementation i.e. it defers memcpy to the
implementation defined memcpy.
4.1: As kernel provides its own memcpy, this code here now calls into
kernel memcpy .
5. If the code now does not work as expected, this is because it was
relying on compiler to optimize the code to two 32 bit reads and not
calling memcpy. i.e. it was just working by chance.

So, replacing call to memcpy by an implementation that does the reads
in a loop is the right thing to get the previous behavior.
```
In particular, I'm curious if the readb/readl/readw macros
(arch/x86/include/asm/io.h) should be used here, which are explicitly
designed to prevent multiple reads or write from being combined into
memcpy()'s for MMIO?  Though I have no idea if that even applies here,
and have only been paying attention to this bug from afar, so sorry if
the suggestion is just noise.
