Subject: [PATCH 4/5] x86, boot: Make memcpy handle overlaps

Two uses of memcpy (screen scrolling and ELF parsing) were handling
overlapping memory areas. While there were no explicitly noticed bugs
here (yet), it is best to fix this so that the copying will always be
safe.

Instead of making a new memmove function that might collide with other
memmove definitions in the decompressors, this just makes the compressed
boot's copy of memcpy overlap safe.
