Yes. The problem only affects one (or a couple of) truly outrageously bad graphics cards that are only used in servers (because they are such crap that they wouldn't be acceptable anywhere else anyway), and they have afaik never worked with 64-bit kernels, so it's not even a regression. So it's worth fixing because it's a real - albeit very rare - problem (especially since the enhanched rep instruction model of memcpy could easily be *worse* than the 16-bit-at-a-time manual version), but I wouldn't consider it anywhere near high priority.
