Just open code the whole copy. It should be easy really. As I said, you
have the src and dst already in registers and you know they are aligned,
so just put the size of the frame in a register (divided by 4), do an
mtctr and do a little load_update/store_update loop to do the copy, all
in the asm.
Ben.
