Sure, it won't hurt performance. Just looks stupid in this place.
Even if we'll add something like dbe_memcpy, which will require a lot of
addresses in the table in order ot get adequate performance, it'll be
still stupid. And answer your next question, dbe_memcpy is needed for
accesses to busses like VME where Bus{Abort,Error,Fail} are quite legal
and traditionally all of them are traslated to DBE.

Gleb.
