I was only talking about the memcpy function from <linux/strings.h>. The
special flavours for I/O declared in <asm/io.h> are in the special case
of PS/2 nothing but glorified memcpy calls:
[...]
#define memcpy_fromio(a,b,c) memcpy((a),__io_virt(b),(c))
#define memcpy_toio(a,b,c) memcpy(__io_virt(a),(b),(c))
[...]
Case closed, I guess.
