  24.      _bbbb_cccc_oooo_pppp_yyyy copies _b_c_o_u_n_t bytes from one kernel address to another.  It chooses
  25.      the best algorithm based on address alignment and number of bytes to
  26.      copy.

  32.      If the input and output addresses overlap, the function executes, but the
  33.      results are undefined.
  34.  
  35.      The source and destination address ranges must both be within the kernel
  36.      address space and must be memory resident.  No range checking is done.
  37.      Since there is no mechanism by which drivers that conform to the rules of
  38.      the DDI/DKI can obtain and use a kernel address which is not memory
  39.      resident (an address which is paged out), DDI/DKI conforming drivers can
  40.      assume that any address to which they have access is memory resident and
  41.      therefore a valid argument to _bbbb_cccc_oooo_pppp_yyyy.  Addresses within user address space
  42.      are not valid arguments, and specifying such an address may cause the
  43.      driver to corrupt the system in an unpredictable way.  For copying
  44.      between kernel and user space, drivers must use an appropriate function
  45.      defined for that purpose (for example, _cccc_oooo_pppp_yyyy_iiii_nnnn(D3), _cccc_oooo_pppp_yyyy_oooo_uuuu_tttt(D3),
  46.      _uuuu_iiii_oooo_mmmm_oooo_vvvv_eeee(D3), _uuuu_rrrr_eeee_aaaa_dddd_cccc(D3), or _uuuu_wwww_rrrr_iiii_tttt_eeee_cccc(D3)).
  47.  
  48.      Do not use _bbbb_cccc_oooo_pppp_yyyy to copy to or from I/O (hardware) addresses, because
  49.      they may not allow accesses of the type used by _bbbb_cccc_oooo_pppp_yyyy; use it for memory
  50.      addresses only.  Use the _hhhh_wwww_cccc_pppp_iiii_nnnn(D3), or _hhhh_wwww_cccc_pppp_oooo_uuuu_tttt(D3) routines for I/O
  51.      addresses.

  77.      An I/O request is made for data stored in a RAM disk.  If the I/O
  78.      operation is a read request, data are copied from the RAM disk to a
  79.      buffer (line 9).  If it is a write request, data are copied from a buffer
  80.      to the RAM disk (line 15).  The _bbbb_cccc_oooo_pppp_yyyy function is used since both the RAM
  81.      disk and the buffer are part of the kernel address space.
