   The only portable way to write memcpy is with `char*'; you can
   access anything through a pointer-to-character.  But, to make it
   fast, you probably have to write it in assembly code.

I think we're going to opt instead to compile the kernel with strict
aliasing disabled, because there are just too many cases I know about
in the kernel which does stuff like this.  It would be just too large
a change in 2.2.x
