Undefined references to 'memcpy' when compiling Linux Kernel

gcc assumes it is linked with libgcc. That isnt unreasonable but it breaks
on the kernel stuff. Turn the problem functions into using explicit memcpy
calls then mail me a diff. This is kernel over cleverness  not gcc.

Make that a memcpy
