to ease up on the write combining.
Yep, I'm already aligning the destination buffer.
> Btw I've been looking at {{{-D__NO_STRING_INLINES}}} as a build
parameter, which from what I can tell, tells gcc to not trust glib with
inlining but do it in gcc. This might be the wrong assumption though as it
is very poorly documented.
As far as I can tell that only affects whether glibc's string.h defines a
bunch of inline assembly versions of the string functions. Since we don't
use glibc's string.h I don't think it has any effect.
