Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] x86/boot: Warn on future overlapping memcpy() use

This attempts to bring some sanity to how warn() and error() are defined
so that they can be used by misc.c, kaslr.c, and string.c. After that,
we add a warn() to memcpy and call memmove on detected overlaps.

-Kees

v5:
- split out warn/error into error.c/error.h
v4:
- use __memcpy not memcpy since we've already done the check.
v3:
- call memmove in addition to doing the warning
v2:
- warn about overlapping region
