There were some small problems, but I think I fixed them:


/*
 * arch/i386/lib/memcpy_io.S
 *
 * The most general form of memory copy to/from I/O space, used for
 * devices which can handle arbitrary transactions with appropriate
 * handling of byte enables.  The goal is to produce the minimum
 * number of naturally aligned transactions on the bus.
