Log Message:
Work-around an obscure bug (reported by a couple of people, and reproduced
exactly twice by me) which causes the code at the top of copyin which
word-aligns the destination pointer to copy more bytes than necessary,
resulting in an alignment fault later on.

The bug is difficult to reproduce, but as far as I can tell it seems
to be as a result of the condition codes being corrupted, possibly
following a page fault caused by the first ldrbt/strb instructions.
The subsequent ldr<cc>bt/str<cc>b instructions then _always_ execute.
I can't think of any obvious reason why this would happen, though.
