Hum. Fix a potentially catastrophic bug: kcopy() sets DF=1 if the areas
overlap, but doesn't clear it if the copy faults. If this happens, we
return to the caller with DF=1, and each future memory copy will be
backwards.

I wonder if there really are places where kcopy() is called with
overlapping areas.
