From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

Given that memset/memcpy are intrinsics, the compiler might insert calls
to these routines unpredictably, including in code that executes after
ExitBootServices(). In this case, the respective boot services are no
longer accessible, and calling them will cause a crash.

So detect this case, and fall back to a bytewise copy/store if it occurs.
