I ran into the same issue on __const_iowrite64_copy()
now, will send an updated patch. I also noticed that
the __iowrite32_copy() and __iowrite64_copy() look
redundant after my change, so I wonder if we should
just remove those and rename __const_iowrite32_copy()
and __const_iowrite64_copy() accordingly.
