If you look at the copy template, you'd see that `dstin` *is* x0.

Consier if we took a non-SEA fault. The the fixup handler will overwrite x0,
it's likely `dst` != `dstin`, and we'll branch to the byte-by-byte copy. Or if
we're doing something odd and mmap_min_addr is 0, we can do the wrong thing the
other way around and *not* branch to the byte-by-byte copy when we should.

So this is at best confusing, but likely broken too.

Thanks,
Mark.
